Definition

The resistance of a conductor depends on the following factors

  • Length of the conductor
  • Area of the cross section of the conductor
  • Nature of the material of the conductor
  • Temperature

Derivatives

Through various measurements, it is found that:

  • Resistance is proportional to the length of the conductor
  • Resistance is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section

And thus,

Where is the Resistivity of the conductor.

What are the factors in which resistance depends on? ? The resistance of a conductor depends on the following factors

  • Length of the conductor
  • Area of the cross section of the conductor
  • Nature of the material of the conductor
  • Temperature

Resistance is proportional to the {{length of the conductor}}

Resistance is inversely proportional to the{{ area of cross-section}}
