i have a question on efect on conductor resistance on the 2391 can any body put it in simple terms if the length increases and the csa double does it stay the same or decrease

thanks moose

 
If you double the length of a wire it's resistance will double.

If you double the CSA of a wire it's resistance will half.

So if you double both the length and CSA then it's resistance will remain the same
