The resistance R of a conducting wire depends on its material , length l and area of cross section A. The resistivity of the material of the wire is rho=(RA)/l the value of rho is for different materials .It is very low for conducting materials like metals,Besides, the resistance of a conductor also depends on its temperature. IF the resistance of a conductor is R_0 at 0^@C and R_1 at t^@C , then R_1=R_0(1+at) where a is called the temperature coefficient of resistance. The resistance increases with temperature for metallic conductors but decreases for graphite,a few metal alloys,and for semiconductors like silicon and germanium.
