Question

choose the correct answer.
if the wires in this circuit were shorter, would they have lower resistance?
no
yes
they would be the same.

Explanation:

Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length ( \( R=
ho\frac{l}{A} \), where \( R \) is resistance, \(
ho \) is resistivity, \( l \) is length, and \( A \) is cross - sectional area). If length \( l \) decreases (shorter wire), and other factors (\(
ho \) and \( A \)) remain constant, resistance \( R \) decreases.

Answer:

Yes
