Abstract— Is natural to observe an electrical resistance on different materials. Each individual property, refers to the capacity of
the object to increase its resistance in relation with the dimensions of the body. In this experimental practice, the dimensions of a
mine, were variated and by means of a potential divider, its relation current / voltage were identified. From here, the resistance was
calculated and then with regard to length and transversal section area, the resistivity was defined for different dimensions of the same
mine; Finally the average was used in order to affirm that not only the length is directly proportional to resistance, but that the mine,
is an acceptable conductor (111 Words)
