Physics-Resistance & Resistivity

NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12

Which of the following statements about resistance and resistivity is correct?

A

Resistance is directly proportional to the length of a conductor and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area.

B

Resistance increases with temperature for all materials regardless of their type.

C

Resistivity is a property that does not depend on temperature or material type.

D

All materials have the same resistivity irrespective of their physical state.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, resistance is affected by the length and area of the conductor, as described in the formula R = ρl/A, where ρ is resistivity. Option A accurately reflects this relationship.
