A wire is cut into three equal parts and then connected in parallel with the same source. How will its
(¡) resistance and resistivity gets affected?
(¡¡)how would the total current and the current through the parts change?

Expert Answer:
resistance is directly proportional to the length of the wire
equal part will have equal resistance
current is inversely proportional to the resistance
since there are equal resistances in parallel. Equal amount of current will flow through each part
