How would resistance r depend on cross section and length of the material?
Resistance R =p(L /A)i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor will be directly proportional to its length(L) ==> if the length of the conductor increases its resistance also will increase.i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A) ==> if the Area of the conductor increases its resistance also will decrease.

Will an increase of applied voltage decrease the resistance of a copper conductor?
No, the resistance is fixed by the cross section and length of the conductor and does not vary with voltage.
What are the rules for electricity resistance?
Resistance of a conductor is defined by the specific resistivity, area of cross section and the length of the conductor. R = rL/A, where R is resistance in OHMs, r is specific resistance, L length in mm, A is area of cross section in sq mm
How do you work out resistance with voltage and joules?
Resistance of a conductor is defined by the specific resistivity, area of cross section and the length of the conductor. R = rL/A, where R is resistance in OHMs, r is specific resistance, L length in mm, A is area of cross section in sq mm
What is the value of the resistance when both length and diameter are double?
Doubling the diameter of a circular-section conductor will quadruple its cross-sectional area and, therefore, reduce its resistance by a quarter. Doubling the length of a conductor will double its resistance. So, in this example, the resistance of the conductor will halve.
Factors affecting resistance of a metal conductor?
The material, the length, the cross section.
Why does Resistance decrease in thin wire?
Area of cross section: Resistance R is inversely proportional to the area of cross section ( A) of the conductor. This means R will decrease with increase in the area of conductor and vice versa. More area of conductor facilitates the flow of electric current through more area and thus decreases the resistance. This is the cause that thick copper wire creates less resistance to the electric current.
What are the two factors on which the resistance of a cylindrical conductors depends?
For conductor the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the length (L) of the conductor, and the area of cross-section (A). When you stretch the conductor to increase its length, its area of cross-section will decrease. The decrease in area of cross-section can be found in the following way: The volume of the cylinder will remain same. The initial volume of the cylinder is = A Х L Suppose, the area of cross-section becomes A/ and the resistance becomes R/. Hence, the resistance increases 4 times. Hope this helps you, Keep posting and have a nice day!
Do thick wires have high or low resistance?
Low resistance.AnswerSince resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of a conductor, increasing the diameter ('thickness') of a conductor will reduce its resistance.For example, doubling the diameter of a circular-section conductor will quadruple its cross-sectional area, and reduce its resistance by one quarter.
What factor that govern the value of resistance in a resistor?
It can be because of the material used.As we know R=PL/A where R=resistance P=resistivity of the material used L=length of the conductor A=area of cross section of the conductor
What are the factors that affect resistance?
The factors are: length, cross-sectional area and nature of substance.
