Think of it like this: Friction causes you difficulty in pulling heavy objects on a carpet. This frictional force is similar to electrical resistance. It is one of two ways to define how easily electricity will travel through an electrical element.
It must mean a load that is not constant, or does not follow a straight line relation with some other parameter. For example air resistance- the drag on a vehicle increases as the square of the speed, so the load on the motor increases at a similar rate ( or at least that part of the motor load used to overcome air resistance)
A swamping resistor is usually manufactured from the metal alloy manganin (trade name), or other alloy with similar resistance/temperature characteristics -i.e. practically zero temperature coefficient of resistance. In other words, its resistance will remain more-or-less constant over a wide range of temperature variation.
The net effective resistance of the parallel devices is the reciprocal of (1/12 + 1/4). Hence 3 ohms.=============================================(Which actually looks strangely similar to the first answer above.Could it be just coincidence ? I wonder . . . )
If a fourth bulb were added in a similar way to the three existing bulbs, the resistance in the circuit would go up if the bulbs were series connected, and it would go down if the bulbs were parallel connected.

In an electrical circuit, resistance is like the narrowness of a pipe that restricts the flow of water. Just as resistance limits the flow of electricity in a circuit, a narrow pipe restricts the flow of water. Both resistance and a narrow pipe cause a decrease in the flow rate.
Voltage is the measure of electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit. It is similar to other electrical properties, such as current and resistance, in that it plays a crucial role in determining the flow of electricity in a circuit. Just as current is the flow of electric charge and resistance limits this flow, voltage provides the driving force for the flow of current in a circuit.
Electrical resistance (and impedance) is measured in ohms(Ω).
Assuming you're asking about an electrical transformer... Electricity meets resistance as it flows threw the transformer. Some of the flow of the energy is converted to heat due to the resistance and you get less electrical energy out than you put in. Think of electrical resistance as similar to friction between two objects, say rubbing your hands together quickly and generating heat.
Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a load in a circuit is equal to the product of the resistance of the load and the current flowing through it.E = I * RE ==> voltageI ==> currentR ==> resistanceIf you compare an electrical circuit to your household plumbing, resistance is similar to a restriction or partial obstruction in the plumbing, like a partially open faucet, current is similar to the rate at which water flows through the plumbing or from the faucet, and voltage is comparable to the water pressure.
The resistance to water flow in a rough or partially clogged pipe is similar to a conductor having high electrical resistance, which slows down the flow of electricity through it. In both cases, the resistance impedes the movement of the respective materials (water or electricity) through the pipe or conductor, affecting efficiency and performance.
Silver is the metal most similar to copper because it has similar conductivity and malleability properties. Both copper and silver are commonly used in electrical applications due to their high conductivity. Additionally, they both have similar resistance to corrosion.
