The resistance of a conductor is given by
where L is the length of the wire,
the resistivity of the material and A the cross-sectional area.
We can see that if all the other quantities do not change, if the new length of the conductor is 4 times the original length:
, then the new resistance is also 4 times the original value:
Answer:large
Explanation:
As the temperature increases, materials with large coefficients of linear expansion increases a lot in size
<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>
