DC Circuits
What property of materials describes how easily they allow current to flow?
How does increasing the length of a copper wire affect its overall resistance?
Imagine two wires of identical materials but different lengths ( and where ) carrying the same current; how does the voltage drop across them compare given that resistivity and cross-sectional area are constants?
What happens to the overall resistance of a circuit when a wire with lower resistivity replaces one with higher resistivity, assuming all other factors remain constant?
How would the resistivity of a wire change if its length is doubled and its cross-sectional area is halved, keeping the material and temperature constant?
What unit is resistivity commonly measured in?
If two materials have different resistivities, which one allows electricity to flow more easily?

What instrument is typically used to measure the voltage across a resistor?
What happens to the electrical resistance if you increase both width & height?
What happens to the resistance of a copper wire if its length is doubled while its cross-sectional area and material remain unchanged?
