Resistance of Conductors
• Resistance of material is dependent on several factors:– Type of Material– Length of the Conductor– Cross-sectional area– Temperature
![Page 4: Chapter 3 Resistance. 2 FIG. 3.1 Resistance symbol and notation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5516ce25550346fc4e8b487b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Type of Material
• Differences at the atomic level of various materials will cause variations in how the collisions affect resistance.
• These differences are called the resistivity.• We use the symbol (Greek letter rho).• Units are ohm-meters.
![Page 5: Chapter 3 Resistance. 2 FIG. 3.1 Resistance symbol and notation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5516ce25550346fc4e8b487b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
Length• The resistance of a conductor is directly
proportional to the length of the conductor.• If you double the length of the wire, the
resistance will double.• = length, in meters.
![Page 6: Chapter 3 Resistance. 2 FIG. 3.1 Resistance symbol and notation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5516ce25550346fc4e8b487b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Area
• The resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor.
• If the cross-sectional area is doubled, the resistance will be one half as much.
• A = cross-sectional area, in m2.

Electrical Wire Tables
• The American Wire Gauge is the primary system to denote wire diameters.
• The higher the AWG number, the smaller the diameter.
• A given length of AWG 22 wire will have more resistance than the same length of AWG 14 wire.
• Larger gauge wires can handle more current.
![Page 11: Chapter 3 Resistance. 2 FIG. 3.1 Resistance symbol and notation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5516ce25550346fc4e8b487b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Circular Mils (CM)
• Diameter is expressed in circular mils.• 1 CM is defined as the area of a circle having
a diameter of 1 mil (0.001 inch).• A square mil is the area of a square having
sides 1 mil long.• 1 CM = /4 square mils

Temperature Effects
• For most conductors, an increase in temperature causes an increase in resistance.
• This increase is relatively linear.• In many semiconductors, an increase in
temperature results in a decrease in resistance.
![Page 16: Chapter 3 Resistance. 2 FIG. 3.1 Resistance symbol and notation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5516ce25550346fc4e8b487b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Temperature Effects
• The rate of change of resistance with temperature is called the temperature coefficient.
• Represented by (Greek letter alpha).• Any material for which the resistance
increases as temperature increases is said to have a positive temperature coefficient. If it decreases, it has a negative coefficient.
