The greater the length of the conductor, thegreater is the resistance, and the greater the cross sectionof the conductor, the less is the resistance. The energydissipated by the resistance is usually in the form of heat,although it may be accompanied by a transformation intomechanical energy or… … Fig. Car Resistance. resistance is the oJivi. Numerically it is equal to the resist-ance of a uniform column of mercury 106.3 centimeters long,weighing 14.4521 grams in mass, at 0° centigrade. Someidea of the dimension of the resistance may be had from thefollowing: 1. A 16-candie-power ii6-voIt…
