The opposition of a body or substance to current passing through it, resulting in a change of electrical energy into heat or another form of energy. So it could be any substance.

From 68.191.13.211. Now would someone out there add to what you have sen so far. Then we will all be more aware of the exact nature of the resistance.

How does adding a resistor to an electric circuit affect the current flow?

Adding a resistor to an electric circuit reduces the current flow by impeding the flow of electrons. The resistor increases the resistance in the circuit, which in turn decreases the amount of current that can pass through.


What is the type of circuit called when it has an conductor a switch a electric cell a resistor?

The type of circuit you are describing is known as a simple circuit. It consists of a power source (electric cell), a switch, a conductor (usually wire), and a resistor to control the flow of electric current.


What is meany by resistor?

Resistor is a component of an electric circuit that resist the flow of direct or alternating electric current . It can also limit or divide the current, reduce the voltage, protect an electric circuit, or provide large amounts of heat or light.

How does a resistor work to limit the flow of electric current in a circuit?

A resistor limits the flow of electric current in a circuit by providing resistance to the flow of electrons. This resistance reduces the amount of current that can pass through the circuit, helping to control the flow of electricity and prevent damage to components.

How to find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit?

To find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). So, you can calculate the potential difference by multiplying the current flowing through the resistor by the resistance value of the resistor.


Why is an electromagnet a resistor?

An electromagnet is not a resistor; they are two different components in an electrical circuit. An electromagnet uses electric current to create a magnetic field, while a resistor resists the flow of electric current, which causes a voltage drop across it.
