Resistance
Diameter:
The thinner the wire (higher gauge number), the higher the resistance per foot. The thicker the wire (lower gauge number), the lower the resistance.
Length:
The longer the wire, the higher the overall resistance. The shorter the wire, the lower the overall resistance.
Temperature:
The more heat the wire generates, the more resistance it will create.
