Question

The resistance of a conductor does not depend upon?

• A. The length of the conductor.
• B. The humidity of the conductor
• C. The thickness Of the conductor.
• D. The temperature of the conductor.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

The humidity of the conductor

The explanation for the correct option.

Conductor resistance is the inherent resistance to the flow of current in a conductor.

The resistance of a conductor depends on the cross-sectional area $\left(A\right)$ of the conductor, the length $\left(L\right)$ of the conductor, the thickness of the conductor, the temperature of the conductor, and its resistivity.

The formula for resistance is $R=\rho \frac{L}{A}$, Here $\rho$ is the resistivity which depends on the temperature of the conductor.

From the formula, the conductor resistance does not depend on conductor humidity.

Hence, option B is correct.
