उत्तर
Resistance of a wire depends upon:
(i) Length of wire: Resistance is directly proportional to the length of a wire.
(ii) Area of cross-section of wire: Resistance is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section the wire.
(iii) The temperature of wire: Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the temperature of the wire.
