How does the resistance of a wire depend on its radius? Explain your answer.

Answer»

Resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of the wire.

R ∝ 1/A

R ∝ 1/πr2 

This means if a wire of same length, but of double radius is taken, its resistance is found to be one-fourth.
