Answer to Question #197560 in Electric Circuits for Rene Felipe

Question

resistance vs diameter

Answer 1

Resistance Vs Diameter

Resistance:- The resistance of a conductor is the property by virtue of which it oppose the flow of charges through it.

Diameter:- Diameter is a chord that runs through the centre point of the circle. It is also the area of cross section of the conductor.

*Resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

That R propto 1/A (A- area of cross section)

* That is the larger the diameter of a wire the lower it's resistance and vice versa. Because the charge carries have more path along with to travel
