The resistance of a conductor does NOT depend on which of the following factors?
ALength
BArea of cross section
CMaterial
DPressure
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Pressure
1. Resistance R = (resistivity x length) / area of cross section.
2. Resistivity depends on the material and temperature.
3. Pressure is not a factor in this relation, so resistance does not depend on it.
