Electric Resistance | Laws OF Resistance | Units OF Resistance



Definition:

An electronic component which has ability to pass from any conductor by a difficulty is called a resistance. The resistance happened in a conductor due to its conductivity which provides difficulty in the way of current. The SI unit of resistance is ohm. In other words," The characteristic of a conductor which has the ability to misplace some amount of current in its cross-sectional area is called a resistance".

Formula

  Its formula is is driven by ohm’s law of resistance:
As ohm’s law states:
                                  V=IR     then
                                      R=V/I

Laws of resistance

  •      The resistance is directly proportional to the length of a conductor, where the area of a conductor remains constant.
  •          The resistance is inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of a conductor, where the length of a conductor remains constant.


SI unit

The SI unit of an electric resistance is ohm and is denoted by Ω."Ohm is defined as the electric resistance between two points of a conductor is when one volt is applied to its both points".Its formula is given below:

                                                                             Ω=V/A
