For a given length of fine copper wire of diameter 0.072 mm (2.9 mil) =
0.004 sq mm,
if it is squashed to cross-section dimensions of 0.02 * 0.2 mm (2 * 20
mil)
proportionally how much does the resistance change ?
and then to 0.01 * 0.4mm (1 * 40 mil) ?





AFAIK the resistance of wire is proportional to its Cross Sectional Area.
Period. If this remains unchanged, so does the resistance.
