How does increasing the length of a conductor affect its resistance?.

  1. A.Resistance decreases
  2. B.Resistance remains constant
  3. C.Resistance increases
  4. D.Resistance becomes zero

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • Resistance increases

Explanation

Why this works

The correct answer is Resistance increases. This is correct because it applies the Current electricity idea named in the question, using the required quantities and units rather than mixing current, charge, potential difference, resistance, power, or energy.

The other options are less suitable because they use the wrong electrical quantity, an incompatible unit, or a rule from a different circuit context.
