1/1 = 1ohm MR. volta [italian] Determined that it would take 1 volt to pass 1 amp trough a 1 ohm resistor MR ampere [ french] Ditermined that it would take 1 ohm and 1 volt to pass one ampere MR ohms [english] determinaed that for 1 volt and one ampere the resistance must be 1 ohm. mr watts determined that the product of volts x ampere will equal one watt [power]

On what factors the current flowing through a device depends?
Current flowing through a device depends on resistance offered by that device.
What are most commonly caused by current flowing through high resistance due to faulty wiring igniting insulation and other material?
what is most commonly caused bt current flowing through high resistance due to faulty wiring igniting insulation and other materials
What is ac resistance of a diode?
ratio of ac voltage applied across the diode to the ac current flowing through it
Does resistance flow through a circuit?
No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.
What is the electrical resistance offered by a current-carrying element that produces a drop of one volt when a current of one ampere is flowing through it?
One ohm.
What does a current flowing through a material meet with?
Resistance
The opposition to the movement of charges flowing through a material is called what?
RESISTANCE.

Why shunt resistance must be small in ammeter?
An ammeter has to measure to current flowing through the circuit. Resistance offers an obstruction to the current flow. So, if the resistance of an ammeter is large , the current measured by the ammeter will be quite less as compared to the actual amount of current flowing through the circuit which is undesirable. If ammeter has zero resistance , then it will give the exact value of current. But this is not practically possible because every material has some value of internal resistance which we can't control. For this reason , ammeter must have small resistance
What is resistance do in a circuit?
lowers the amt of electrical current flowing through it.
What is meant by resistance of a current?
The resistance of a current is a measure of how difficult it is to push the electrons along.AnswerThere is no such thing as the 'resistance of a current'. Resistance is a characteristic of the material through which a current flows, not of the current itself.
What resistance is needed to reduce 5V dc to 4V dc?
The resistance needed is1/(the current flowing through the resistance) ohms.
What is a measure of how easily current will pass through a material?
resistance conductance or 1/resistance
What was a resistance invention?
The incandescent light bulb. The tungsten filament lights due to it's resistance of the current flowing through it.
