🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between resistance, length, and cross-sectional area of a conductor • How changing length and area together affects overall resistance • Proportionality: what happens when one variable is halved and another is doubled

💭 Think About

• Write the basic formula for resistance in terms of resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area, then see how each change (length and area) affects it • Treat the original resistance as R. Express the new resistance in terms of R using the changes given • Carefully combine both changes (length and area) rather than thinking about them separately

✅ Before You Answer

• Use the correct resistance formula and identify which quantities are changing and which stay constant (like resistivity and material • Check whether resistance is directly or inversely proportional to length and area • After substituting the new length and new area, simplify step-by-step and compare the final expression to the original resistance R
