Electric Charge — Test

Question 19 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Resistance depends on which three properties of a wire?Color and texture are not directly related to a wire’s resistance.

Answer
A
color, thickness, texture
B
thickness, length, temperature
C
length, texture, temperature
D
temperature, color, texture

Explanation

A wire’s resistance depends on its length, its thickness (which determines its cross-sectional area), and its temperature. A longer or thinner wire has greater resistance, and changing the temperature can also change resistance. Color and texture do not determine electrical resistance, so the correct choice is thickness, length, temperature.
