Length affects the resistance
ent-carrying charged particles with fixed particles that make up the structure of the conductors. A resistor is a material that makes it hard for electrons to go through a circuit. Without resistance, ... and therefore it is a good conductor. The length and width of a wire also has an effect.A variable resistor alters the amount of current flowing easily, which makes it very useful for speed control o ...
