Question
Chapter 23, Problem 1ASA
To determine
Define the electrical resistance.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1ASA
The resistance is the property of material which opposes the current flow.
Explanation of Solution
Depending on the current flow, materials are divided as conductors and insulators. The materials which do not respond to current flow are called insulators. Conductors allows current through them all of them do not respond in the same manner when battery is connected.
Resistance is the property of material which opposes the current flow. The resistance of the material depends on the length, cross section area, and the coefficient of resistivity which is a constant. It is expressed in ohms.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the resistance is the property of material which opposes the current flow.
