…R halves. for example when the Area is 0.025mm2 the resistance is 4.8. When A doubles to 0.05, R halves to 2.4?. When A doubles again, R halves again to 1.2. This is because, as stated earlier: We see that if the area of the wire doubles, so does the number of possible routes for the current to flow down, therefore the energy is twice as spread out, so resistance might halve, i.e. Resistance is directly proportional 1/Area.
