On what factors does the resistance

Question.
On what factors does the resistance of a conductor depend ?

solution:
The resistance $(R)$ of a conductor depends upon

(1) Its length $(\ell): \mathrm{R} \propto \ell$

(2) Its cross-sectional area (A): $R \propto \frac{1}{A}$

(3) Nature of material i.e., resistivity $(\rho)$ of its material: $R \propto \rho$

(4) Temperature: more the temperature, more will be its resistance.
