Resistance
Explanation
In metallic conductor the current is due to flow of free electrons and resistance is due to collision of
these electrons with fixed atoms inside the conductor.
Mathematically:
According to ohm law it is ratio of applied voltage to the current flow in conductor
R = V/I
One Ohm: Resistance is one ohm when potential difference of one volt is applied across the conductor
and it cause the one ampere current to flow
Ω = 1V /1A
Material: If length area and temperature is kept constant the resistance varies with nature of material l
