How does increasing the length of a wire affect its resistance?
💡 Hint: Remember the longer the path, the more collisions occur!
True or False: A thicker wire always has higher resistance than a thinner wire of the same material.
💡 Hint: Think about how much space you have to move in a narrow versus wide hallway.

A gold wire (resistivity 2.44 x 10^-8 Ω·m) is 150 meters long and has a diameter of 1.0 mm. What is its resistance?
💡 Hint: Convert the diameter to meters and remember to use π for area calculation!
If a wire's resistance is 10 Ω at room temperature, what will its resistance be if the temperature increases by 50°C given that the temperature coefficient of resistance is 0.004 per °C?
💡 Hint: Consider the impact temperature changes have based on the coefficient!
