The resistance of a conductor varies inversely as___________?
Correct answer: B. area of cross-section
- A. length
- B. area of cross-section
- C. temperature
- D. resistivity
Explanation
From R = ρL/A, resistance decreases when the cross-sectional area A increases, so it varies inversely as area. It varies directly with length and resistivity under constant conditions.
