current
what happens to the voltage across the resistor R1 when the switch is closed? The voltage will
increase
The resistance of a wire is
proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area.
If the voltage across a circuit of constant resistance is doubled, the power dissipated by that circuit will
quadruple
The resistivity of a wire depends on
