The four rods shown below are made of carbon. Which rod has the greatest electrical resistance between its twoends?

ANSWER:
(b)
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We have that the resistance has the following relationship with the length and the area:
[tex]R\propto\frac{L}{A}[/tex]That is, the greater the length, the greater the resistance and the smaller the area, the greater the length.
Therefore, the one with the greatest electrical resistance would be the one with the longest length and the smallest area, that is, option b
