What factors contribute to the electrical resistance of a conductor?

Answer 1

1) What materials the conductor is made of;

2) the average cross-sectional area along the length of the conductor;

3) the temperature of a conductor also affects its resistance;

4) the length of the conductor is also very important.

Generally, the longer the conductor, the higher its resistance.

Your students' course materials can probably give you a better answer than mine, or at least you'll know it is the right one.
The length, the cross sectional area, temperature of conductor along with the intrinsic property called the specific resistance of the substance.

Answer 2

This are the factor which affect resistance of a conductor (1). Area of conductor (2). Length of conductor (3) Temperature (4). Type or substance of material used in conducting the electricity.

Answer 3

It depends on the intermolecular structure of the individual material. It varies for various material.

Generalised formula for calculating the resistance of any material is :

R = k* L/A

Where

R = Total Resistance.

K = Specific Resistance of the material.

A = cross-sectional area of material for which resistance is measured.

Answer 4

The material it is made from. The temperature and use.

Answer 5

resistance is not affected by either voltage or current.it is either too low or too heigh

Answer 6

the material the resistance is

Answer 7

temperature
