Question 45360: Please solve the problem. Round your answers as needed.
The resistance, in Ohms, of a 25 foot piece of wire is given by the function R%28d%29=%28025%29%2F%28d%5E2%29, where d is the diameter of the wire in inches. What happens to the resistance of the wire as the diameter of the wire decreases?

Answer by stanbon(48558) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
R(d)=(025)/(d^2)
The formula indicates that R(resistance) and d(diameter)
are indirectly related.
So when diameter decreases resistance increases.
