Resistance of metal wire

Have you ever wondered why wires made of metal resist the flow of electric current? This is because of something called electrical resistance. Electrical resistance is a measure of how difficult it is for electric current to flow through a conductor. Think of pushing a toy car through sand versus pushing it on a lino floor. The resistance of the sand is hard for the car to move on, much like electrical resistance creates a hard path for the current to travel along. Resistivity of metal wire may also differ based on other things. The length and thickness of the wire, and also the kind of metal the wire is made from, are two such things.  

Exploring the Effects of Temperature on Metal Wire Resistance"

One of the main elements affecting wire resistance is temperature. A metal wire is warmer, its resistance levels rise, which tends to make it more difficult for electrical current to move inside it. This is because high temperatures make the atoms in the wire shake and vibrate more. But when you jump around, it can be more difficult for your friend to throw a ball to you. When the atoms are moving, they block the electrons traveling through the wire, creating more resistance.
