1.	How does the resistance of a wire vary with its area of cross-section?
Answer» As area is inversely proportional to the resistence....More the area less will be the resistenceLess the area more will be the resistence. Thanks to you both Resistance is inversely proportional to area of cross section. larger will be the area lower will be the resistance and vice versa. As resistivity increases area decreases and as area increases, resistivity decrease..R ∝ 1/AThis is because through a conductor with large area of cross section current can easily flow and hence resistance is low. It is inversely proportional to the area of cross section of the wire. The more the area of cross section of the wire,the less is the resistance and the less the area,the more is the resistance.
