Question

State the factors affecting resistance of a conductor.

Answer 1

1. Resistance is that property of a conductor that opposes the flow of current through a conductor.
2. There are mainly four factors that affect the resistance of a conductor.
3. The factors that affect the resistance of a conductor are:

1. Length of the conductor: Resistance is directly proportional to the conductor
2. Area of cross-section of the conductor: Resistance is inversely proportional to conductor
3. Nature of material:It depends on the nature of material used
4. Temperature: Resistance is directly proportional to the conductor

The factors affecting resistance are Length, Area of cross-section, Temperature, and Nature of material.
