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, as long as the area remains constant. Resistance is primarily a function of material properties, dimensions, and temperature, but the shape of the cross-section does not affect resistance if the area is the same.
