Question

If the shape of the wire is changed , will the resistance change?Explain

Open in App
Solution

The resistance of wire depends on three factors

1.length of the conductor

2. Area of the conductor

3. Nature of the type of material

R=рl/A

if area increases then resistance decreases (as inversely proportional)

so change in the shape will change in the area. so
resistance changes.
