Physics- Factors That Affect Resistance Flashcards
1
Q
Length of a conductor
A
A long piece of wire will have a higher resistance than a short piece of wire with the same thickeness
2
Q
Thickness of a conductor
A
A thick wire will have less resistance than a thine wire of the same length
3
Q
Temperature of a conductor
A
The resistance of most metals increases with the increasing temperature
4
Q
Type of material
A
Some metals are better conductors than others
