Experiment 7- DC Electrical Circuits Flashcards
1
Q
Define Electrical Resistance
A
A physical property of material that measures how strongly they resist the flow of electrical current that arises from the electric force imposed on the charges (force is created by an electric field).
2
Q
How are electric fields created?
A
Through the separation of charges which generates a potential difference.
3
Q
What is the relationship between current flow and the degree of resistance?
A
Inverse
4
Q
What is the resistance of an object dependent on?
A
Its material, shape, and soze.
