Definition of RESISTANCE:
It is the property of the material
by virtue of which it oppose the flow of electric current.
The Electrical Resistance of an
electrical conductor is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current
through that conductor. in other word it is The inverse quantity is electrical
conductance.
Metal, Acid and salt solutions are
good conductors of electricity. Pure Metals like Silver, Copper,
Aluminium, Gold are very good conductors.
non metals like Bakelite, mica,
glass, PVC, rubber,dry wood are poor conductor of electricity.
UNIT OF RESISTANCE:
Practical Unit of resistance is ohm
( as scientist George Simon Ohm discover this ). a conductor is said to have a
resistance of 1 ohm if it permit 1 ampere current flow through it when 1 volt
potential difference impressed across its terminal. symbol of ohm is- Ω,
Symbol of resistance is- R
there are many bigger and lower
quantity of resistance there units are given bellow:
Mega-ohm (MΩ)- 1000000ohm
Kilo-ohm(KΩ)- 1000ohm
Mili-ohm(mΩ)- 0.001ohm
Micro-ohm(μΩ)- 0.000001ohm
