What is electric resistance?
To Explain: Electric resistance.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The flow of charges per unit time is called current. Charges flow when there is a difference between the electric potential of the two ends of the conducting wire.
Resistance is the opposition to flow of charges in a conducting wire. It is a property of element which is introduced in a circuit or material of the conducting wire in itself. It is measured in ohms
