What opposes the flow of electrons in a conductor?

Open in App

Solution

Resistance is the property of a conductor that resists the flow of electrons or electric current in a conductor.
Resistance $(R)$ of a conductor is given by the ratio of potential difference $(V)$ across a conductor to the electric current $(I)$ flowing through it.
Thus, the resistance of the conductor opposes the flow of electrons in it.
