I was thinking of parallel and series circuits and how they work, but then I began to think more about how I could apply that same knowledge to a wire in terms of resistivity.
I was thinking, well if you add another length piece on, that wouldn't increase electron flow.. that would make it somewhat like a series wouldn't it? But what is the physical effect of adding another piece of wire just to make it longer? that doesn't really do much with resistivity, does it?
Then I thought, well wouldn't making the wire bigger make it like a parallel circuit? but somewhat exponential? from what i understand the electron flow increases, thus the bigger wire might seem like a parallel since greater current can go through...
