What is the effect of increasing the width of a wire on it's resistance, and why?
Thanks

Does it decrease because there are more electrons to move freely?
So now that you've figured it out with help from ranger, here is the general equation that you should memorize (yes, there are a handful of equations that you should memorize):
[tex]R = \frac{\rho L}{A}[/tex]
So an increase in the "width" of a conductor increases the area of the conductor, which does what?
