10.9 - A Question Of Resistance

Question 1

Resistance

Answer 1

measure of the electrical energy required for an electric current to pass through an object. The energy is changed to heat.

Question 2

Insulators

Answer 2

material that does not allow heat to move through it

Question 3

statement relating the change in voltage across a conductor to the change in current. It states that the voltage across a particular conductor divided by the current through it is constant. R=V/I

Answer 3

Ohm’s law

Question 4

describes conductors that obey Ohm’s Law

Answer 4

Ohmic

Question 5

device for which the resistance can be altered

Answer 5

Variable resistor

Question 6

circuit component that has resistance, are used in electric circuits to control the voltage and current

Answer 6

Resistors
