Introduction
Resistors are an important part of nearly every electrical circuit, despite their tiny size and
frequent integration with other parts. Due to their ability to regulate how much electrical
current is sent to delicate components and shield them from voltage spikes, these concealed
resistors are crucial. Appliances like electric heaters, electric ovens, and toasters all employ
resistors to convert electricity into heat, then use the heat lost via this resistor to warm the
space around it.

Analysis
R AND RESISTABILITY

Resistance and resistibility are inversely

proportional. The other would also increase if
the other one increased.

Analysis
R AND LENGTH

An object's resistance is inversely correlated

with its length, similar to resistability.

Analysis
R AND AREA

In this case, area and resistance are negatively

proportional because as area increases,
resistibility decreases, and vice versa.
