Module 6. Materials & hardware

If the cross sectional area of a cable is increased, what will happen to the voltage drop?

  • Decrease.
  • Increase.
  • Stay the same.

Azfar asking:

why does the voltage drop decreases? According to my understanding, V=IR. When cross sectional area increases, resistance will increase, hence increasing the voltage. Are voltage and voltage drop both different things?

If cross-sectional area is increased - resistance is decreased.
