Question

What quantities determine the resistance of a piece of material? Choose all that apply.The voltage across the materialThe type of materialThe current flowing through the piece of materialThe cross-sectional area of the piece of materialThe length of the piece of material

Answer 1

Answer;

• The type of material
• The cross-sectional area of the piece of material
• The length of the piece of material

Explanation;

The resistance is a measure of how the material impedes the flow of electrons through it. There are several factors that affect the resistance of a wire or a material.

The four main factors which affect the resistance of a material are;

• The length of the wire
• The thickness of the wire
• The temperature of the wire
• The type of material the wire is made of.
