Detailed Solution

If the area of an electric conductor is reduced to half, its resistance gets doubled.
Resistance is a conductor's characteristic that governs conduction in a conductor. Conduction decreases as resistance increases. In simple words, it can be defined as the opposition offered in the current flow in the circuit. The resistance (R) is given by
R=ρlA
Where ρ is the specific resistance of the conductor, is the length of a conductor, and is the area of the cross-section of a conductor.
From the relation, it can be observed that R is inversely proportional to A. Hence, when A is halved, R gets doubled.
