Resistance is opposition to which of the following?
current |
|
conductance |
|
voltage |
|
impedance |
Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). One ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow if one volt of voltage is applied. As resistance increases, current decreases as resistance and current are inversely proportional.
You would measure the amount of voltage between two points in a circuit with a(n):
reostat |
|
ammeter |
|
battery |
|
voltmeter |
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit.
| 29 Ω | |
| 18 Ω | |
| 30 Ω | |
| 20 Ω |
Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
Solved for resistance, R = \( \frac{V}{I} \) = \( \frac{80}{4} \) = 20 Ω
The conductivity of an element depends on how many electrons occupy which electron shell?
inner |
|
middle |
|
first |
|
outer |
All electricity is the movement of electrons which are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Electrons occupy various energy levels called shells and how well an element enables the flow of electrons depends on how many electrons occupy its outer (valence) electron shell.
