This factor that affects electron flow depends on the thickness, length, resistivity or kind of a material used.

Which one is a poor conductor of electricity?

This device is used to measure the resistance of a circuit?

The amount of charge flowing through a cross-sectional area of a wire per unit of time is called:

A wire of length L and cross-sectional area A has a resistivity ρ. Which of the

following formulas can be used to calculate the resistance of the wire?

The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length

The cross-sectional area of a conductor is one factor that determines the conductor's resistance to current.

A longer wire has lesser resistance than a shorter wire. Current must travel farther through a longer wire, so there are more chances for it to collide with particles of matter

A cooler wire has less resistance than a warmer wire. Cooler particles have less kinetic energy, so they move more slowly.

The extremely thin wire has more resistance than a wider wire would. This helps the wire resist electric current and change it to light.

All materials have resistance. How much resistance a material has depends on the type of material, its width, its length, and its temperature.

Resistance is a hindrance when a material is being used to transmit electric current. Resistance is helpful when a material is being used to produce heat or light.

Materials such as plastics have low resistance to electric current. They are called electric insulators.

Electricity flowing through a wire is like water flowing through a hose. More water can flow through a wide hose than a narrow hose. In a similar way, more current can flow through a wide wire than a narrow wire.
