Electrical Resistance Fundamentals Quiz

When potential difference is applied to a conductor, the current starts to flow or the free electrons start moving.

Resistance is the opposition offered by a substance to the flow of electric current in an electrical circuit.

Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω) and is denoted by the symbols R or r.

<p>The factors affecting the resistance of a resistor include the length of the conductor, the area of the conductor, and the temperature.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The length of the conductor is directly proportional to the resistance, meaning that as the length of the conductor increases, the resistance also increases.</p> Signup and view all the answers
