Answer
all of the above
Reason — The three factors on which the resistance of wire depends are —
- Dependence on length of the wire — the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire.
R ∝ l - Dependence on the thickness of the wire — the resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to it's area of cross section (a) normal to the direction of flow of current.
R ∝ - Dependence on the temperature of the wire — the resistance of conductor increases with an increase in it's temperature.
