What is the ability of a substance to oppose or slow down electric current?

Insulators typically slow the movement of electrons through an electric current. Bad conductors, such as rubber, can be used to slow, stop, and/or redirect electric current.
CommentInsulators do not 'slow down', 'stop', or 'redirect' current! Simply put, insulators don't have enough charge carriers to support conduction.

What are materials that allow charges to flow through then easily called?
electric conductor They are called conductors of electricity. Electricity is the flow of charge. Solid conductors contain free electrons that carry the charge. Liquid conductors contain ions that carry the charge.
What is the definition of restistance?
A force that tends to oppose motion
What types of forces oppose motion?
Mainly friction.
Force the opposes motion?
There are many types of forces that oppose motion such as friction, drag and most universal, gravity.
What is the best organizational plan if the purpose of your research paper is to defend or oppose an amendment to the Constitution?
order of importance novanet
What is an object in an electric circuit that resists the flow of electrons?
A special kind of resistor can oppose the flow of an electrical current.
What is a resister in electronics?
The resistor a passive component is oppose the flow of electric current. How much it oppose to current it depend on the value of resistance and the value of resistance is mention on it on the color code format. you need to remember the value of every color.
What is the meaning of electrical resistance?
Definition Of Resistance In Electrical:Property of a material to oppose the flow of electric current through it is called Resistance.
What effect in resistace to oppose the current?
Increase resistance lowers current
What is the role of inductance in lcr circuit?
oppose changes in current flow.
The 9 specific properties of matter and describe each?
Mass: the amount of matter in an object. Volume: the amount of space that matter occupies. Density: mass per unit volume of a substance. Shape: the form or structure of matter. Texture: the feel or appearance of a substance's surface. Color: the property of matter that is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects. State: whether matter is solid, liquid, or gas. Conductivity: the ability of matter to conduct heat or electricity. Solubility: the ability of matter to dissolve in a solvent.
What is the meaning of Ohms?
Resistance is the measure of the degree to which an object will oppose an electric current. The SI unit for resistance is Ohm (Ω). Resistance can be found using the formula R=V/I where R=resistance (Ohms) V=the potential difference across the object (Volts) I=the current through the object (Amperes)
Why capacitor oppose change in voltage and allows current to flow?
Because that is what a capacitor does, resist a change in voltage. It holds a certain amount of energy per charge (voltage), and to change that voltage requires current proportionally to the capacitance.
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.
What is capacitance?
Theoretically, Capacitance is defined as the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge. Mathematically, it is defined as the ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential.
''Ohm's law is the tendency for material to oppose the flow of electrons''is this true?
No, resistance is the tendency to oppose the flow of electrons. Ohm's Law simply relates resistance, voltage, and current.
What is the specific resistance that the body provides?
It is the net resistance offered by the body of unit length and unit cross section area at a given temperature to the flow of electrons. It is the constant for a material dependent on temperature. It gives the ability of the material to oppose the flow of electron when electric field is applied.
