Question


The factor(s) affecting the resistance of a conductor is/are:


Options:
A .   Length of the conductor
B .   Area of cross-section of the conductor
C .   Material of the conductor
D .   Color of the conductor
Answer: Option A
:
A, B, and C
The resistance of a conductor of length, l and cross-sectional area, A is given by R=ρlA where ρ is the resistivity. Factors affecting the resistance of a conductor are:

  • Length of the conductor - Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor.

  • Area of the cross-section of the conductor - Resistance is inversely proportional to the cross section area of the conductor.

  • Material of the conductor - Resistance depends on the material of conductor. It is quantified by resistivity. Resistance is directly proportional to resistivity.
