Q (In Coulombs C) /T (In Seconds), Where 1 C Is The
resistance (R):
(a) property of a conductor to resist (thus retard) an
electric current through it, due to the attraction of the
atoms among which the electrons move;
(b) non-zero constant for the conductor at a given
temperature
good conductor < resistor < poor conductor <
insulator, in amount of resistance for conductors of the
same size
Ohm’s Law:
V/I = R (in ohms/symbol), provided a constant
temperature
2)
a. Write the relationship between the electric current
flowing through a conductor and each factor on which
the resistance depends.
b. Using the relationship between the electric current
flowing through a conductor and each factor on which
the resistance depends, derive the relationship between
the resistance of a conductor and each factor on which
the resistance depends.
