Answer:
its length – the longer the wire, the greater its resistance. its cross-sectional area A – the greater the area, the less its resistance. the resistivity of the material r – the greater the resistivity, the greater its resistance

The resistance of a conductor varies inversely with its area of cross section.
- The formula of resistance is:
R = ρl/A
- Hence, the resistance depends inversely on the cross- sectional area:
R ∝ 1/A
- On increasing the area, the electrons can flow easily and hence the resistance is low.
- If area is less, the electrons cannot flow easily and hence the resistance is high.
