Answer:

- Decreasing the resistance

- Using a shorter length

- Using a smaller area wire

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for conductance in wires is;

G = 1/R

Where;

G is conductance

R is resistance

This means that increasing the resistance leads to a larger denominator and thus a smaller conductance but to decrease the denominator means larger conductance.

Thus, to increase the conductance, we have to decrease the resistance.

Resistance here has a formula of;

R = ρL/A

Where;

ρ is resistivity

L is length of wire

A is area

Thus, to decrease the resistance, we will have to use a shorter length and smaller area of wire.
