Factors on which the Resistance of a Conductor depends

Google Classroom

Compare the following characteristics of the two cylindrical resistors,

1

and

2

.

	Resistor $1$ ‍	Resistor $2$ ‍
Length	$27 mm$ ‍	$48 mm$ ‍
Base radius	$3 mm$ ‍	$4 mm$ ‍

It's seen that the resistance of

2

is greater than that of

1

.

What could be the reason?
