Yes it depends on the column on the periodic table
(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:

where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know

and

, therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:

(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:

where

is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
Jesus, jesus is always the answer
Vacum flask has inner layer of glass and outer body of plastic.the glass has a reflective metal layer..when a hot drink is poured into the flask it prevents conduction.tight lid stops the convection.when radiation tries to leave the hot drink the reflective layer of the glass reflects it back so no heat can escape.
