Does a wire with a resistance of 3 ohms have a greater or lesser resistance than a wire with 5 ohms of resistance

it will have a lower resistance than the wire with 5 ohms. Think of it as: more ohms more resistance. This is understanable because when you had more resistors to a circuit, the total resistance increases.

lesser resistance. the lower the ohm the lower the resistance, ohms measure the amount of resistance in an electrical current
