Cause of Resistance

An ideal conductor would be made from a material which posed no resistance to the flow of electrons. In the real world though, all materials will give some level of resistance, the level of resistance can also vary within the conducting material used. Some of the things which vary a conductors level of resistance are listed below:

  • The cross sectional area of the conductor
  • The length of the conductor
  • The material of the conductor
  • The temperature of the conductor
