  1. Resistance of a conductor increases (or decreases) with increase (or decrease) in the length of the conductor.
  2. Resistance of a conductor decreases (increases) with increase (decrease) in the area of cross-section of the conductor.
  3. Resistance of a conductor increases on raising the temperature and decreases on lowering the temperature.
