The resistance of a longer piece of wire is greater than the resistance of a shorter piece of wire

What will be an ideal response?


This is correct. The longer the piece of wire, the greater the resistance. In the
Drude model, this is due to collisions of electrons in the conductor with the positively
charged atoms in the conductor.
