Which of the following would decrease the resistance in a wire?

Increase the thickness of the wire
Increase the mass of the wire
Decrease the thickness of the wire
Decrease the mass of the wire

Increase the thickness of the wire would decrease the resistance in a wire

Explanation:

Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded.  The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.

Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.
