    Length, Area, Conductivity, Temperature

    Explanation:

    The factors affection the resistance of a conductor are

    (1) Length of the conductor (L) : As the length (L) of the conductor increases, the Resistance (R) of the conductor also increase.

    R ∝ L

    (2) Cross sectional Area of the conductor (A) : As the cross sectional area of the conductor (A) increases, the Resistance (R) of the of the conductor decreases.

    R ∝1/A

    (3) conductivity of the conductor (G) : As the conductivity of the (G) of the conductor increases, the Resistance (R) of the conductor decreases.

    R ∝ 1/G

    (4) Temperature (T) : As temperature (T) increases, the Resistance (R) of a conductor decreases.

    T ∝ R
