why doesn't the resistance of a conductor depend on voltage and current, even though, by Ohm's law, we know; V=IR?
Answers
Answer:
Current
Explanation:
Answer- current
Resistance is just a constant that is used to remove the sign of proportionality
Explanation:
Because resistance of a conductor is always fixed. It can neither be changed by current (I) nor by voltage (V). From the given formula,
R = ρl/A
where, R = resistence;
l = length;
A = Area of cross section of conductor;
ρ = resistivity of conductor;
it can deduced that R can't be affected by any of the parameter (i.e. voltage and current).
As a case in point, resistance of copper wire(which is a conductor) of 1km length and 1 mm radius of its cross section is 5.48Ω.
This resistance will always be same for 1km long copper wire of 1mm radius of cross section.
That's all.
