Resistance of a conductor depends upon:
Correct answer: C. Length
- A. Temperature
- B. Nature of a conductor
- C. Length
- D. Color
Explanation
The resistance of a conductor is determined by the formula: R = ρ(L/A), where R is resistance, ρ is resistivity, L is length, and A is cross-sectional area. Among the given options, Length is the only correct choice, as it directly affects resistance. Temperature influences resistance but is not a factor in the basic formula. The Nature of a conductor relates to resistivity but does not directly determine resistance in the context of this question. Finally, Color has no relevance to resistance, making it an incorrect option as well.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
