The opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor?
In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.
What is resistance reading?
A measurement of opposition to electric current flow in a component or circuit.
What is the unit to measure the opposition to the flow of electrical current called?
Answer: Inductive reactance is the opposition to the change in current in an electrical circuit and is abbreviated Xl. Answer: The opposition to current flow is called resistance (for DC), or impedance (for AC; often just called resistance); the unit for both is the ohm.
What is the total opposition to a current flow in an AC circuit with both resistance and reactance?
Resistance
Is current is the rate of electrical flow in a circuit and that votage is the opposition of current flow?
'Electricity' is not a quantity; it's the name of a subject area or topic (just like 'chemistry'). So 'current' describes a flow of charge (not 'electricity'), expressed in amperes. 'Voltage' (potential difference) is responsible for 'driving' current, expressed in volts. 'Resistance' is the circuit's opposition to current, expressed in ohms.
What is the term for opposition to current flow within a circuit?
The term Impedance (Z) is used to quantify the opposition to current flow in a circuit.
What is the opposition of current flow measured in?
The opposition of current flow is measured in ohms. For DC circuits it is resistance and for AC circuits it is impedance.
The opposition to the flow of electrical current?
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
Is resistance the opposition to the flow of current?
Yes
What do you call the opposition to the flow of electrical current?
Resistance
What is the opposition to flow of current in a circuit called?
resistance
An opposition to current flow that occurs in alternating current circuits is called?
Capacitive reactance.
Total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit?
I oppose alternating current. Direct is the only way for me. That is 1 in opposition.
The opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor?
In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.
What is describe as the total opposition to current flow in a circuit?
Total resistance.
What is the Opposition to current flow in a inductive ac circuit?
Back EMF.
What is resistance reading?
A measurement of opposition to electric current flow in a component or circuit.
