Best Answer

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.
