The resistance (R) of a wire is directly proportional to its length (L) and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area (A). Which equation describes this relationship?
R = kLA
R = kL/A
R = kA/L
R = k/(LA)
स्पष्टीकरण
Directly proportional means multiply; inversely proportional means divide, so R = kL/A.
