    R = ρl/A

    From the equation above R = Resistance, l = length, A = Cross Sectional Area of wire.

    From the equation, it can be seen that R would increase if the wire's area is reduced.

    If the area of the wire is reduced, means the same thing as:

    A. decreasing the wire’s thickness
