  1. Question 1

    Q1. Two wires of same material have resistances in ratio 1:4. If their lengths are equal, which property must differ?

    • A) Diameter
    • B) Temperature
    • C) Resistivity
    • D) Electron density

    Answer: Diameter

    Explanation: Resistance depends on area. Thinner wire has higher resistance. Options B and C affect resistivity but not directly resistance.
