It depends on the nature of the device acting as the resistor. All basic circuit components act as resistors. Resistors dissipate energy from the current in the form of heat. Capacitors store energy in a electric field. Inductors create a magnetic field.
In practice in general, heat dissipation is present in most resistive devices (including circuit wires). So common, in fact, that we call it "internal resistance". But that is effectively how we use electricity: by resisting its flow.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Resistance to the flow of electrons in a conductor causes a loss of?
Energy as heat
What does cause resistance in electrical wires?
electrical resistence is occur in conductor due to over flow of current,in conductorAnswerResistance is not due to the 'flow of current'. It exists whether current is flowing or not! Resistance is determined by the type of material and its physical dimensions. Resistance depends upon the resistivity (which is also affected by temperature) of the material, and the length and cross-sectional area of that material.
What specifically does resistance reduce the flow of?
Resistance is the opposition of the atoms in any materiel to the movement of the electrons of a certain current ... so the resistance is a long wire, and thus more atoms to pass through that's how it reduces the electron flow
What circuit has low resistance?
A circuit with low resistance is typically referred to as a "low-resistance circuit." Such circuits allow for a higher flow of electric current due to the minimal opposition to the flow of electrons. Examples include short circuits, where the resistance is significantly reduced, causing excessive current flow, which can lead to overheating or damage. In practical applications, low-resistance circuits are often seen in power distribution systems to minimize energy loss.
What produced when electrons flows smoothly in matter?
When electrons flow smoothly in matter, they create an electric current. This flow of electrons generates a magnetic field around the conductor. The movement of electrons also produces heat due to resistance in the material.
When current flows through a resistance is heat produced?
Yes, heat energy is produced by the electrons;however small it may be,actually if we consider a resistance then it is an hindered to the flow of electrons,as a result of which the electrons collide with the particles of wire resulting in loss of energy in the form of heat.the equation of heat generated is: H=(I^2 *R*t) where- H=heat produced in joules R=resistance of the material in ohm t=time of current flow in seconds
What is the opposistion to the flow of electrons?
Resistance.
What does the resistance of the flow of electrons cause?
it cause no electricity because of the resistance but.... if your question was..... "the caused by the flow of electrons" then the answer well be ( it cause electricity )
What is produced when electrons flow in conduction?
When electrons flow in a solid material, current is produced. This flow of electric charge is what we commonly refer to as electricity.
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 materials has a strong resistance to the flow of electrons?
Materials such as rubber, glass, and plastic have strong resistance to the flow of electrons. They are considered insulators and are used to prevent the flow of electricity in many applications.
What is the tendency of a substance to resist the flow of electrons?
That tendency is known as electrical resistance. It is a measure of how difficult it is for an electric current to pass through a substance. Materials with high resistance impede the flow of electrons, while materials with low resistance allow electrons to flow more easily.
When electrons flow between two objects a what is produced?
When electrons flow between two objects, a flow of electric current is produced. This movement of charges generates a magnetic field around the flow of current.
What property of materials that slows the flow of electrons is?
The property of materials that slows the flow of electrons is resistance. Resistance is caused by the interaction of electrons with the atoms in the material, leading to energy loss in the form of heat. Materials with high resistance are poor conductors of electricity.
What is the force pushing against and slowing down the flow of electrons is?
The force pushing against and slowing down the flow of electrons is resistance. Resistance is caused by collisions between electrons and atoms within a material, which generates heat and reduces the flow of current.
What is the ability of a material to oppose the movement of electrons through it?
That ability is called electrical resistance. Materials with high resistance impede the flow of electrons, while those with low resistance allow electrons to pass through more easily. The unit of measurement for electrical resistance is the ohm (Ω).
