Factors Affecting Resistance Flashcards
1
Q
How does material affect resistance?
A
Conductive materials (like metals) have lower resistance, while insulators (like rubber) have higher resistance.
2
Q
How does the length of a wire affect resistance?
A
Longer wires have higher resistance.
3
Q
How does the thickness of a wire affect resistance?
A
Thicker wires have lower resistance.
4
Q
How does temperature affect resistance?
A
Higher temperatures generally increase resistance.
