What are the factors affecting the resistance of conductors?
Conductor resistance = Conductor resistivity * Length of conductor / Cross sectional area of conductor. So. It is directly proportional to material & conductor length. And inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of conductor.
What would the resistance of the wire if the resistance is 10 ohms be the same if it were twice as long?
The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length, hence increasing the length twice will increase the resistance twice as well. Therefore the resistance will be 2*10 = 20 Ohms
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.
What is the difference between conductor resistance and insulation resistance?
The resistance of a conductor is relatively low while an insulator should have very high resistance. The former is used to transmit electricity and the latter is designed to inhibit flow of electricity.
What happens to insulation resistance when increasing cable length?
The insulation resistance remains the same throughout the entire length of the conductor.
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.
Does the length of a conductor not affect its resistance?
The length of a conductor Does affect it's resistance.The longer it is, the more the resistance.
When length is increased by 25 percent than find percent increased in resistance?
when the lengh of the conductor is increased by 25%. find the increase in its resistance
Resistance of a copper conductor will decrease with an increase of applied voltage?
Resistance is affected by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the conductor. The resistivity, in turn, is affected by temperature. So only by changing one of these four factors will the resistance of a conductor change. Changing voltage will have no affect upon the conductor's resistance.
What is the effect on the drift velocity of free electrons by decreasing the length and the temperature of wire?
As we know , resistance(R) is directly proportional to length(L) of conductor and resistence(R) is inversely proportional to current (I) and I=nAqv (v is drift velocity) So , if we decrease the length of the conductor , resistance of the conductor will decrease and current(I) will increase and drift velocity of free electrons will increase . And as we know resistance and temperature have direct relation so , by decreasing the temperature resistence will decrease and current will increase . So drift velocity will increase .
How does length affect the resistance?
If we increase the length, the resistance will increase and vice versa.
What affects the resistance of an electric conductor?
The material from which the conductor is made, the length of the conductor, the diameter of the conductor and the temperature of the conductor are all things that impact its resistance.
How would resistance 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.
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.
Does resistance increase as the cross-sectional area of the wire?
the resistance can never increase or decrease....... (you can't open the resistor and take out the something and make the resistance increase or decrease)AnswerSince resistance is directly proportional to the length of a conductor, increasing the length of a wire will increase its resistance. For example, if you double its length, you will double its resistance.
How is electrical resistance decreased?
Ways to reduce electrical resistance: increase the diameter of the conductor, decrease or increase the temperature of conductor (depending on its thermal characteristics), decrease the length of the conductor. A change in the material out of which the conductor is made can decrease resistance, too. And there is the phenomenon of superconductivity. In a simple circuit the resistance can be lowered by adding resistors in parallel. The total circuit resistance will then decrease. You can also reduce resistance by substituting resistors of lower value, or by adjusting a potentiometer, or pot, to a lower value.
What are the factors affecting the resistance of conductors?
Conductor resistance = Conductor resistivity * Length of conductor / Cross sectional area of conductor. So. It is directly proportional to material & conductor length. And inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of conductor.
