Concept explainers

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.

Cheap resistors are fabricated by depositing a thinlayer of carbon onto a nonconducting cylindrical substrate. If such a cylinder has radius a and length d, determine the thickness of the film required for a resistance R ifa = 1 mm R = 33 kσ = 1ρ = 2.9 MS/md = 9 mmNeglect the end surfaces of the cylinder and assumethat the thickness is much smaller than the radius.
