Q: Conducting wires have a small degree of what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Conducting wires have a small electrical resistance. The electrical resistance of a conducting wire is related to the type of metal used and inversely related to the cross-sectional area of the wire. The larger the diameter of a wire, the greater the cross-sectional area, and the lower the electrical resistance will be. When electrons flow through a wire, they repel each other and interfere with the passage of other electrons. If there are a very large number of electrons passing through a wire with small diameter, the electrons will experience a greater resistance than if the wire diameter were larger and the electrons had more space between them. Choices: - magnetism - insulation - heat - electrical resistance A:
The answer to this question is:
electrical resistance
