Conductors have low resistance. Recall Ohm's law. The higher the conductor resistance, the greater the voltage drop along the conductor, and the less voltage that is available for the load. The conductor resistance is a resistance in series with the load.
Also, higher conductor resistance results in more electrical power being converted into heat, warming up the conductors. This is calculated with the formula P=I2R. The greater the resistance, the greater the power wasted heating the conductors.
What else can I help you with?
Electrical resistance is a property of conductors that is measured in units of?
Ohm
What is the difference between resistance and insulation?
Resistor is a current a insulator is a not conductive and conductors can conduct.
What is ment by high resistance and low resistance on a meter?
On a multimeter, a high resistance would indicate a high Ohmic value and a low resistance would indicate a low Ohmic value. Specific values would be relative to device you are measuring.
How you understand which side of a transformer is high voltage side and low voltage side?
at high voltage side, current is low. hence the size of conductors is reduced or small. At low voltage side, current is high. Hence the size of conductors is large.
What is a material that allows electron to flow easily or with little resistance?
Those are the materials we loosely call "conductors".
What is materials with low resistance called?
Materials with low resistance are called conductors. Conductors allow electricity to flow easily through them due to their low resistance. Metals such as copper and aluminum are examples of good conductors.
What are the materials have low resistance?
Conductors.
Good conductors have a high resistance or low?
Good conductors have low resistance. A low resistance allows for the easy flow of electric current through the material. Materials like metals are good conductors because they have many free electrons that can move easily in response to an electric field.
How much resistance do conductors have?
Conductors have low resistance to the flow of electric current. The resistance of a conductor depends on its material, length, and cross-sectional area. Materials like copper and silver have low resistance, making them good conductors of electricity.
What shows how conductors insulators superconductors and semiconductors rank in order of least resistance to most resistance?
Superconductors have no resistance, making them the best conductors. Semiconductors have moderate resistance. Conductors have low resistance, making them better conductors than insulators, which have high resistance, making them the poorest conductors.
What is conductors insulators superconductors and semiconductors rank in order of least resistance to most resistance?
Superconductors have no resistance. Conductors have low resistance, semiconductors have intermediate resistance, and insulators have high resistance.
What kind of marterials have low resistance?
the best conductors with low resistance are silver, copper, gold, aluminum (best to least best)
What type of resistance do conductors have?
Conductors have resistance due to collisions between free electrons and atoms within the material. This resistance causes energy to be lost in the form of heat when current flows through the conductor. The resistance value depends on the material and dimensions of the conductor.
Is something that has low resistance conductors?
Yes, because anything that has low resistance definately have the ability to conduct much better than that of higher resistance. Resistance simply means the opposition to the flow of electrons in a conductor.
Why do spark plug wires have resistance?
All wires have a resistance, as does everything else in the universe. Conductors like metal and carbon generally have low resistances where as non conductors have a very high resistance. Think of it like friction, but electric.
Do insulators have lower resistance than conductors?
On the contrary, insulators have higher resistance than conductors. Resistance refers to resisting a flow of electricity, making it more difficult for electricity to flow. Conductors conduct electricity, they make it easy for electricity to flow. Insulators prevent the flow of electricity.
Does a good conductor has a high resistance?
No, a good conductor has a low resistance.
