Resistance Flashcards
1
Q
What is resistance?
A
The opposition of a component to the flow of electric current through it
2
Q
What unit is resistance measured in?
A
Ohms
3
Q
What is the relationship between resistance and current?
A
Inversley proportional
4
Q
How do you calculate resistance?
A
Voltage = Current X Resistance
5
Q
How do you find the total amount of resistance in a series circuit?
A
Total resistance = Resistance 1 + Resistance 2
6
Q
How do you find the total amount of resistance in a parallel circuit?
A
The total resistance is less than that of each component
