Q-00019358
If you have two wires of the same material and length but different diameters, how does their resistance differ?
1
Wider wire will have higher resistance
2
Wider wire will have lower resistance
3
Resistance will be equal
4
Depends on the length of the wire
Answer and Solution
Answer
B. Wider wire will have lower resistance
Solution:
The thicker (wider) wire has a larger cross-sectional area, leading to lower resistance due to the reduced constraint on electron flow.
