Does higher Ohms mean more Resistance?

Open in App

Solution

Ohm is the unit of the Resistance. Resistance is measured in ohm.
Therefore, a higher value of Ohms means a higher value of the Resistance.

A bulb filament allows passage of 2A current when connected to a 220V supply & that of 1.1A when connected to 110V. Does the filament obey Ohms law or not? Why?

Q. It is said that alloys are used as heating elements in heaters because they generate more heat due to higher resistance than pure metals. But, higher resistance means lower current flows through the alloys. According to the formula H=I²Rt, heat is directly proportional to the square of current and to the resistance. In this way, heat depends more on current supplied than on resistance(bcoz it is directly proportional to sq of current). So, practically aplying this concept, metals should get more heated than alloys in a given time. Why does this difference arise??
