Question 1 of 27070

The existing resistance of a conductor is dependent upon its length, cross-sectional area, and what other factors?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ohm’s Law and what determines a conductor’s resistance • How length, cross‑sectional area, and material affect resistance • The effect of temperature on the resistance of most conductors (like copper)

💭 Think About

• Think about which listed items are steady physical properties of the wire itself, not circuit conditions or AC effects like reactance. • Ask yourself: if you had a piece of wire on the table, which factors would you need to know to calculate its resistance from a table in a handbook? • Which options include properties that only appear when the wire is connected in an AC circuit (like inductive or capacitive effects), instead of properties of the conductor itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices mention reactance (inductive or capacitive); remember that reactance is not the same as basic DC resistance. • Check which answer choices pair material with another factor that changes the resistance as the environment or operating conditions change. • Confirm that you are focusing on the wire’s inherent properties: length, cross‑sectional area, material, and how temperature affects resistance.
