what does the resistance tell us

the potential difference required to drive a current through a component / or how much energy is required to push a coulomb of charge through

2

what is the unit for resistance

ohms

New cards
3

at a constant temperature, describe the relationship between current and potential difference through a ohmic conductor

The current through an ohmic conductor (at a constant temperature) is directly proportional to the potential difference across the resistor. This means that the resistance remains constant as the current changes. This means graph will show a straight line passing through zero

A conductor that obeys Ohm's Law i
