electrical resistence is occur in conductor due to over flow of current,in conductorAnswerResistance is not due to the 'flow of current'. It exists whether current is flowing or not! Resistance is determined by the type of material and its physical dimensions. Resistance depends upon the resistivity (which is also affected by temperature) of the material, and the length and cross-sectional area of that material.
If you are getting a humming noise then you probably have an earth loop. This is where the resistance from one piece of equipment has a higher resistance than on other piece that it is connected to. The current flows through the lower resistance piece of equipment back to the earth on the mains causing the hum. There are two ways to cure this. the method used by recording studios is to create a star Earth. This is where all the earths from all devices comes back to a central earth point then to the mains earth. The alternative method is to break the shield at one end on the patch lead that goes from each device to interrupt the mains loop and force the earth current to run back down the mains cable earth.
Simply put, the purpose of a resistor is to 'resist' the flow of current. Ohm's Law tells us that for a given voltage, the larger the resistance, or value of that resistor, the lower the current that will flow. Ohm's Law states that I (current) = E (voltage) / R (resistance) - where current is measured in amps, voltage is measured in volts and resistance is measured in ohms.
This is a very technical electrical question that may be difficult to understand without further study. But adding appliances to an outlet is the same as adding resistance in parallel. Adding resistance in parallel, the resistance of the circuit goes down. That is why you get more current flow. By contrast, adding resistance in series increases the resistance of the circuit and therefore reduces current, all else being equal.
The earth wire connects the metal frame of the electrical appliances to the ground. The convention is to have green colour for earth wires. The purpose of earthing is that in case of an insulation failure in some appliance, this wire connected to the metal body will provide a path for the current to flow on the ground. In absence of earth wire, this fault current would have flown through the body of the operator, causing electrical shock.
The property of a substance enabling it to slow down electricity is called resistance and is measured in ohms. This ability is called electrical resistance. Every substance has this. Gold has the minimum resistance for electricity. Such substance is called electrical conductor. And there are substance where the electrical resistance is affected by heat, light and other conditions. And for those substance where electricity can not flow are called electrical insulators (non-conductors) such as wood and ceramics.
electric current
The electrical impulse travels down bundles of His fibres, then down to the PURKINJE fibres.
A lightning arrester (or lightning rod) works by providing a low resistance path to earth. This directs a lightning strike down the side of a building instead of it spreading through the electrical system.
Air resistance, Gravity, Friction and Water resistance(Water and Air resistance depending if it's in air or water)
Resistance. And it doesn't "slow down current", it reduces the current.
Air resistance. if in air they would slow down and fall.
Check the back of the heater switch. The electrical plug may be having an melt down from resistance.
Not all 'short circuits' are 'dead-shorts' -i.e. the resistance between the two conductors (or a conductor and earth) is not necessarily zero ohms -especially when the insulation between them has not completely broken down. The actual resistance is called the 'fault resistance'.
Gravity and wind resistance.
The importance of Wind Energy is that it cuts down on Electrical Energy, which pollutes the Earth
The Earth has an atmosphere and the moon doesn't, so a falling feather on Earth runs into quite a bit of air resistance which slows it down much more than a hammer. On the moon, there is no air resistance.
