Question

Write the factors the resistance of a conductor depends upon. What will happen to the resistance of a conductor its area of cross-section is doubled? (2M) *

Answer 1

Answer:

Resistivity Summary

The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length (L) as R ∝ L. ... Thus doubling its cross-sectional area would halve its resistance, while halving its cross-sectional area would double its resistance.

Answer 2

Answer:

❥Factor on which resistance of a conductor depends:

Factor on which resistance of a conductor depends:Temperature: Resistance increases in increasing in temperature. ... Length of the conductor: Resistance increase in increasing the length of a conductor. Cross Sectional: Resistance of a conductor decreases in increasing the cross sectional area.
