Examples of electrical resistance?
Good examples of electrical resistance would be an electrical baseboard heater, electric hot water tank and an electrical kettle. All of these devices use a resistive element to create heat.
What is the use of resistance box?
The use of a resistance box or a "Decade Box" is to help calibrate instruments used to measure electrical values such as Voltage, Current, and Resistance. Without them you would not have a known value of resistance to use as a set point.
When they can use a resistor in a circuit?
When the circuit needs the electrical property of resistance, of course.
What measures electrical resistance?
an ohm meter OR multimeter is used to measure the electrical resistance...
What is the opposition to the flow of electrons is called?
Resistance, or electrical resistanceResistance, or electrical resistanceResistance, or electrical resistanceResistance, or electrical resistance
Who when and how was electrical resistance discovered?
electrical resistance was discovered by Georg Ohm in the late 1820's.
What is resistance expressed in?
Electrical resistance is measured in Ohms.
What are some ways a material's electrical resistance is used to accomplish a certain job?
A good example of electrical resistance is the heating element on a stove top it is a very poor conductor (high electrical resistance) because it is a poor conductor the electrical energy is converted to heat. Glass is one of the best insulators because its electrical resistance is so high it is a non conductor this lets us use it on high power lines to keep the electricity from coming in contact with the ground.
What is excessive electrical resistance?
High resistance means insulation
What type of resistance do conductors have?
Conductors have a (low) Electrical resistance.
What is the name of an instrument used to vary electrical resistance?
Rheostat is the name of an instrument used to vary electrical resistance.
What is the electrical resistance of dirt?
I believe from Carson's equations that the electrical resistance of dirt isrd = 0.09530 Ohms / mile
