Is electric resistance greater in a short fat wire or a long thin wire?
To Explain: Electric resistance.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Resistance is the opposition to flow of charges in a conducting wire. It is a property of element which is introduced in a circuit or material of the conducting wire in itself. It is measured in ohms
Resistance of a wire depends on its length
A long and thin wire would have greater resistance as compared to a short and a fat wire.
