Electricity:
Resistance

 Resistance
Resistance is the obstruction offered by the conductor to the passage of

electrons. It's a measure of how much a material resists or makes it

harder for electric current to pass through. The unit we use to measure

resistance is called ohm. When electrons move through a wire, they

bump into atoms, creating resistance. Materials with high resistance,

like rubber, make it tougher for the electricity to flow, while materials

with low resistance, like metal, allow it to flow more

easily.Understanding resistance helps us design better and more

efficient electrical devices.

 Ohm’s Law
Ohm's Law is like a simple recipe for understanding
electricity. It tells us that in a wire or circuit, the
electricity's force (voltage) is equal to how easily it can
flow through the material (current) times how hard it is
for the electricity to flow (resistance). Imagine a water
pipe - the pressure of the water (voltage) depends on
how much water can flow through (current) and how
narrow or wide the pipe is (resistance). So, Ohm's Law
helps us figure out how these three things (voltage,
current, and resistance) are connected, making it a
handy tool for anyone dealing with electricity.
Who introduced Ohm’s Law?
Ohm's Law was formulated by a physicist named
Georg Simon Ohm in the 1820s. He noticed that
in a wire, the voltage (like electrical pressure) is
equal to how much current (like the flow of
electricity) flows through it, multiplied by how
hard it is for the electricity to move (resistance).
He basically gave us a simple rule to understand
how electricity behaves in a circuit, making it
easier for everyone to work with electricity.
 Did you know this?
What adds an interesting historical twist to the story is that Ohm
faced initial resistance and skepticism from the scientific
community when he first presented his law. The scientific
establishment of the time did not readily accept his work, and Ohm
had a challenging time gaining recognition for his groundbreaking
contribution. It wasn't until later, after more experimental
verification and recognition of the significance of his work, that
Ohm's Law became widely accepted and established as a
cornerstone in the field of electrical science. Today, Ohm's Law is a
fundamental concept taught to students studying electricity and
electronics worldwide.
