GK Question

science medium fill_blank

The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its ________.

  1. Area of cross-section
  2. Length
  3. Temperature
  4. Both length and temperature

Answer: Length

R = ρL/A: resistance ∝ length (L), ∝ resistivity (ρ), ∝ 1/area (A). Temperature increases ρ for metals. Fundamental for circuit design. [[NCERT Physics Class 10]]
