...which is a constant quantity for each conductor. Apart, however, from that, the external resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor, and inversely proportional to the cross-section ; ie the longer the conductor the greater the resistance, and the thicker the conductor... | |

...and B respectively, we have i = CS (Vand further (c) i = (V - r)/(l/CS) = (F- F')/R. The resistance R is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to its cross-section, and to the conductivity of the substance constituting the conductor. The difference... | |
