What is resistance in physics?
0:02
Definition: Resistance is the property
0:05
of a material that opposes the flow of
0:07
electric current, converting some of the
0:09
electrical energy into heat.
0:11
Explanation: When electrons move through
0:14
a conductor, they collide with atoms and
0:16
impurities, which slows them down. This
0:20
opposition is called resistance. The
0:22
higher the resistance, the harder it is
0:24
for current to flow. Imagine. Think of
0:27
resistance like friction for
0:29
electricity. Just as friction slows down
0:32
moving objects, resistance slows down
0:35
the flow of electrons. In simple terms,
0:38
resistance is the hindrance to the flow
0:40
of electricity in a material.
