प्रश्न
Name three factors on which resistance of a given wire depends and state how is it affected by the factors stated by you.
उत्तर
The following factors can affect a wire's resistance:
- Length of wire: The resistance increases as the wire length increases. R ∝ (l) (directly proportional).
- Area of cross-section (a): The area of the cross-section has an inverse relationship with resistance. For example, the resistance of a thick wire is lower than that of a thin one.
- Temperature (T): As the temperature rises, the resistance of the wire also rises.
