Resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to length. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True because Resistance = (resistivity x length)/ cross sectional area

rvc (rvc):

Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right! @sludgey \[\Large R = \rho \frac{L}{A}\] where \rho is the resistivity of the material of our conductor, L is the length of our conductor, and A is the cross sectional area of our conductor
