What factors affect the resistance of a conductor?

Length, Area, Conductivity, Temperature

Explanation:

The factors affection the resistance of a conductor are

(1) Length of the conductor (L) : As the length (L) of the conductor increases, the Resistance (R) of the conductor also increase.

R ∝ L

(2) Cross sectional Area of the conductor (A) : As the cross sectional area of the conductor (A) increases, the Resistance (R) of the of the conductor decreases.

R ∝1/A

(3) conductivity of the conductor (G) : As the conductivity of the (G) of the conductor increases, the Resistance (R) of the conductor decreases.

R ∝ 1/G

(4) Temperature (T) : As temperature (T) increases, the Resistance (R) of a conductor decreases.

T ∝ R

There are four factors affecting resistance which are

Temperature,

Length of wire,

Area of the cross-section of wire and

nature of the material.
