Imagine the wire is straight, now cut through at right angle to the centre line,

the exposed surface is the cross sectional area, on a round wire it

= pi * radius2 (area of a circle)

How do you find length and crosssectional area of a wire given just resistancevolume and resistivity?

Resistance varies directly as length Resistance varies inversely as cross-sectional area Hence R varies as L and R varies as 1/A Thus R = r(L/A) where r is the coefficient of resistance of the wire. If the wire is of uniform cross section, then A = V/L where V is the volume of the wire. Hence now we have R = r(L/(V/L)) or R = r(L-squared/V) or L-squared = (RxV)/r and so the answer would be L = square-root of (RxV)/r

Is the resistance of the wire directly or inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire?

The resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire. This means that as the cross-sectional area of the wire increases, the resistance decreases, and vice versa.


What is the cross sectional area of a wire?

If you slice a wire cleanly and then look at the cut end, you see a little circle at the end. The area of that circle is the "cross-sectional area" of the wire. The larger that area is, the lower the DC resistance of the wire is.

What wire has the greatest cross-sectional area?

The wire with the greatest cross-sectional area is typically a thick copper wire, such as that used in electrical applications, measured in American Wire Gauge (AWG). For example, a 0000 AWG (4/0) wire has a cross-sectional area of approximately 53.5 mm². In general, as the AWG number decreases, the wire diameter and cross-sectional area increase. Thus, the thickest wire in standard gauge systems will have the greatest cross-sectional area.


Does the resistance of a wire depend on the cross section area of the wire?

No, the resistance of a wire primarily depends on its length, resistivity, and temperature. The cross-sectional area of the wire influences the wire's resistance indirectly by affecting the wire's overall resistance. A larger cross-sectional area generally results in lower resistance due to increased conducting area for current flow.

Which has the lowest resistance thin wire or thick wire?

A thin wire will have higher resistance than a thick wire. This is because resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire - a thicker wire has a larger cross-sectional area compared to a thin wire, so it offers less resistance to the flow of current.
