(N/A) The resistance $(R)$ of a conductor depends on the following factors:
$1$. Length of the conductor $(l)$: Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor $(R \propto l)$.
$2$. Area of cross-section $(A)$: Resistance is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of the conductor $(R \propto 1/A)$.
$3$. Nature of the material: Resistance depends on the resistivity $(\rho)$ of the material.
$4$. Temperature: Resistance of a conductor changes with a change in temperature.
