Which of the following statements are correct about the electrical resistance and resistivity of a wire?<br>1. Both quantities depend on the area of cross-section of the wire<br>2. Both depend on the temperature<br>3. Resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the resistivity of the wire<br>4. Resistivity of the wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire<br>Select the correct answer using the code given below :
- A. 1 and 2
- B. 1 and 3
- C. 2 and 3 ✓
- D. 2 and 4
Correct Answer: C. 2 and 3
Explanation
Resistance depends on the length, cross-sectional area, material, and temperature. Resistivity depends only on the material and temperature. Therefore, statement 2 and 3 are correct.
