Answer:
Option B is correct.
Explanation:
The resistance of a material or wire is represented by the formula below.
R=(ρL)/A
where
- R is resistance of wire
- ρ is the resistivity of the material
- A is the cross sectional area of wire
- L is length of wire
Resistance increases with increase in length and resistivity which means options C and D are wrong.
A=(π[tex]d^{2}[/tex])/4
An increase in diameter will result in a proportional increase in area
From the resistance formula, an increase in area will cause a reduction in the resistance of the material.Thus increased diameter of wire will lower the resistance of wire. Option B is correct
Have a great day
