Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the relationship between wire length and resistance?

💡 Hint: Think of it like a marathon—more distance means more effort!

Question 2

Easy

How does increasing the diameter of a wire affect its resistance?

💡 Hint: Consider how well you can move through a wide space versus a narrow one.

Question 1

How does increasing the length of a wire affect its resistance?

  • Decreases resistance
  • Increases resistance
  • No effect

💡 Hint: Remember the longer the path, the more collisions occur!

Question 2

True or False: A thicker wire always has higher resistance than a thinner wire of the same material.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how much space you have to move in a narrow versus wide hallway.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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!

Question 2

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!
