On what factory does the resistance of conductor Depend?

Open in App

Solution

The resistance of a conductor depends on the following factors:
Temperature of the conductor
Cross-sectional area of the conductor
Length of the conductor
Nature of material of the conductor
Based on these factors there is a formula for resistance
R = ρL/A
Where ρ is proportionality constant and is called specific resistance or resistivity.
