Science (086) — AI-generated practice question

AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.

Model Answer

The resistance of a uniform metallic conductor depends on: (i) its length — directly proportional, (ii) its area of cross-section — inversely proportional, and (iii) the nature (material) of the conductor.

Explanation

The examiner expects all three factors to be named clearly. Just listing them is enough for 1 mark — no need for formulas or elaboration. Writing the proportionality relationships (directly/inversely) shows precision and is good practice even in a 1-mark answer.
