The document discusses electrical resistance, which is the property of bodies to oppose the flow of electric current, attenuating or slowing the free circulation of electric charges or electrons. Resistance causes electrons to collide with each other as they flow through a circuit, releasing energy as heat and increasing the temperature of the conductor. Electrical resistance is defined by the relationship between the potential difference applied to a medium and the current intensity passing through it.

Resistencia eléctrica es la propiedad que tienen los cuerpos de oponerse
en cierto grado al paso de la corriente eléctrica, atenuando o frenando el libre flujo de circulación de las cargas eléctricas o electrones. Normalmente los electrones tratan de circular por el circuito eléctrico de una forma más o menos organizada, de acuerdo con la resistencia que encuentren a su paso. Mientras menor sea esa resistencia, mayor será el orden existente en el micromundo de los electrones; pero cuando la resistencia es elevada, comienzan a chocar unos con otros y a liberar energía en forma de calor. Esa situación hace que siempre se eleve algo la temperatura del conductor y que, además, adquiera valores más altos en el punto donde los electrones encuentren una mayor resistencia a su paso.
La resistencia eléctrica es la relación existente entre la diferencia de
potencial eléctrico al que se somete a un medio o componente y la intensidad de la corriente que lo atraviesa:
