Resistance

A detailed guide to electrical resistance, its role in controlling current flow, and its applications in robotics and circuit design.

Resistance is the ability of a material to oppose the flow of electric current. It is measured in ohms (Ω).

Analogy:

Resistance is like the obstacles that participants in a sporting event must overcome to reach the finish line. The higher the resistance, the harder it is for the current to flow.

Data:

  • Name: Resistance
  • Symbol: (R)
  • Unit of measurement: Ohm (Ω)
