Resistance Flashcards
1
Q
Electrical resistance
A
Opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit measured as a ratio of volt applied
2
Q
Factors that effect resistance?
A
Length of a conductor
+= increase resistance
Cross-sectional area of a conductor
-= decrease resistance
3
Q
Resistivity
A
The level of resistance a material has on the flow of electricity.
4
Q
Ohms law
A
the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
