The resistance of the conductor does not depend upon its
Correct answer: A. Mass
- A. Mass
- B. Length
- C. Cross-sectional area
- D. Resistivity
Explanation
The resistance of a conductor primarily depends on its length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the material. However, it does not depend on its mass. The mass of a conductor does not affect its ability to impede the flow of electric current. Therefore, mass is not a factor influencing resistance.

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.
