The resistance of a rod does NOT depend on:
A) its temperature
B) its material
C) its length
D) its conductivity
E) shape of its (fixed) cross-sectional area

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resistance of a rod depends on its temperature, material, length, and conductivity, but not on the shape of its fixed cross-sectional area. The resistance is determined by the material's resistivity, the length of the rod, and the cross-sectional area's size, but the shape of this area does not affect resistance as long as the area size remains constant.
