Physics-Resistance & Resistivity

NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

Which of the following combinations regarding resistance and resistivity in electric circuits is correct?

A

Resistance increases with length and decreases with cross-sectional area.

B

Resistivity is affected by the material's temperature but not its dimensions.

C

Resistance is directly proportional to the voltage across a conductor.

D

Resistivity is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of current regardless of temperature effects.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the relationships defined in the NCERT context, resistance is indeed directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to cross-sectional area, making option A correct. Resistivity is a material constant affected by temperature, not just dimensions, which makes option B incorrect.
