Jadeen says that you can increase the resistance of a copper wire by hammering the wire to make it narrower and longer. Arnell says that you can increase its resistance by heating the wire. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?
1) Arnell, because the conductivity of the wire increases when it is heated.
2) Arnell, because the conductivity of the wire decreases when it is heated.
3) Jadeen, because the conductivity of a wire is directly proportional to its area and inversely proportional to its length.
4) Jadeen, because the conductivity of a copper wire does not increase and might decrease when it is hammered.
5) Both are correct because (b) and (d) are both correct.

Jadeen claims that only by hitting the wire to make it thinner and wider, it can improve a copper wire's strength, which is why a copper wire's permeability doesn't quite improve and can reduce once it is pounded. Arnell says so by heating its wire, it can improve its strength, and when it is heated, the wire's permeability reduces.
