Question

What are resistance and its formula?


Open in App
Solution

  1. The opposition that a substance provides to the flow of electric current is known as resistance.
  2. The uppercase letterR is used to signify it.

The electrical resistance of a circuit can be determined in one of two formulas,

  1. R=ρlAIn the formula above, ρ stands for rho, which denotes a material's resistivity. The length of the conductor you've been given is L, and the area of the cross-section of the wire or conductor you've been given is A.
  2. Ohm's law is another formula that can be used to determine the electrical resistance of a system. One of the most well-known practical laws of circuit physics is Ohm's law. If the temperature remains constant, Ohm's law asserts that the current flowing through a circuit is exactly proportional to the voltage applied across it and inversely proportional to the resistance produced by the wire. The ohm's law formula is as follows: V=IR
  3. The applied voltage is denoted by the letter V, Irepresent the current situation, The electrical resistance is denoted by R.
  4. If we know the voltage and current, we can use the formula above to calculate the electrical resistance.
