Question

What is resistance in Ohm's law?


Open in App
Solution

  1. In an electrical circuit, resistance is a measure of the resistance to current flow. Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who researched the link between voltage, current, and resistance, is the name given to Ohms.
  2. According to Ohm's law, the current flowing through a conductor between two places is proportional to the voltage across the conductor.
  3. The formula for Ohm's law is as follows:VI. Thus , V=RIwhere R is a constant called resistance. V is the voltage and I is the current. R depends on the dimensions of the conductor and also on the material of the conductor. Its SI unit is Ohm (Ω).
  4. According to Ohm's law, it is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
