Question

what is the resistance of conductor

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student
Resistance of a conductor is defined as the opposition to the flow of electrical current through a conductor.
Resistance is a property of conductor due to which it resists the flow of electric current through it. Component that is used to resist the flow of electric current in a circuit is called resistor.

Numerically we can defined resistance as

Resistance of a conductor is defined as the ratio between potential differences between the two ends of the conductor to the current flowing through it.
R = V/i

If i = 1, R = V.

Resistance of a conductor can also be defined as the difference of potential across the two ends of the conductor required to pass a unit electric current through it.
