A rectangular solid conductor of edge lengths L, 3L, and 4L. A potential difference V is to be applied uniformly between pairs of opposite faces of the conductor. (a) Find the resistance when V is applied between the left–right faces (b) Find the resistance when V is applied between the top–bottom faces (c) Find the resistance when V is applied between the front–back faces. (d) Rank values of resistance in the previous cases from greatest first.
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
