Question 5 • Physics
A wire’s resistance increases when it is thinner or longer: a thinner wire has less area for current to flow through, while a longer wire gives current a longer path. For a typical metal wire, increasing temperature also increases resistance because the hotter metal atoms impede the flow of electrons more. Therefore, the correct changes are using a thinner wire, increasing its temperature, and using a longer wire.
