A scientist performed an experiment using various lengths of wire, all with the same cross-sectional area. The resistance of each length of wire was measured. The scientists results appear in the data table below.
Length Resistance
(meters)
(ohms)
Which of the following is the best conclusion to draw from this experiment?
O Resistance increases as the cross-sectional area of the resisting material increases.
O Electrical signals increase in power consumption as the length of wire increases
O Electrical signals decrease in strength as the distance they travel increases
Resistance increases as the total length of the resisting material decreases
