Factors Affecting Resistance & How They Affect

Two wires mad...

Question

Two wires made from the same material and having same diameter have lengths in the ratio 3:1. Which will have higher resistance? Give reason.

Open in App

Solution

Since resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length, so the longer of the two wires (first wire), will have a higher resistance.
