Resistance Flashcards
1
Q
Resistance
A
The difficulty of making current pass through the component
2
Q
Ohm’s Law
A
pd across a metallic conductor is proportional to the current through it
3
Q
Resistivity
A
Resistance is proportional to Length and inversely proportional to it’s area
4
Q
Superconductor
A
A wire/ device made out of material that has zero resistance at and below a critical temperature that depends on the material
5
Q
Resistors in series
A
Rt = R1 + R2 + R3…
6
Q
Resistors in parallel
A
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3…
