What factors affect the electrical resistance of a conductor?
This are the factor which affect resistance of a conductor (1). Area of conductor (2). Lenght of conductor (3) Temperature (4). Type or substance of material used in conducting the electricity. Join...
List 4 factors that affects the resistance of a conductor?
Length, cross section, material, temperature. Without wishing to sound pedantic, there are only three factors that affect resistance. These are the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of...
Does the length of a conductor affect its resistance?
Yes, resistance is directly proportional to the length, and inversely proportional to the cross sectional area. R = p*l/A. Where R is the resistance of the piece of conducting material, p is Greek...
Factors that affect the resistance value?
The material it is made from. The temperature and use.
What affects the resistance of an electric conductor?
The material from which the conductor is made, the length of the conductor, the diameter of the conductor and the temperature of the conductor are all things that impact its resistance.
