Resistance

Resistance Resistance: the ability of a material to oppose the flow of electrons through it

Resistance Resistance: the ability of a material to oppose the flow of electrons through it Ohm (Ω): the unit of electrical resistance

Resistance Resistance: the ability of a material to oppose the flow of electrons through it Ohm (Ω): the unit of electrical resistance Ohmeter: a device used to measure electrical resistance

Factors Affecting Resistance

Factors Affecting Resistance 1. Type of Material: some materials have less internal resistance than others

Factors Affecting Resistance 1. Type of Material: some materials have less internal resistance than others Insulators: resist the flow of electrons

Factors Affecting Resistance 1. Type of Material: some materials have less internal resistance than others Insulators: resist the flow of electrons e.g. air plastic

Factors Affecting Resistance 2. Length: the longer a wire is, the more electrical resistance the wire has

Factors Affecting Resistance 2. Length: the longer a wire is, the more electrical resistance the wire has High voltage transmission lines: are used so fewer electrons have to travel through wires travelling long distances

Factors Affecting Resistance 3. Thickness: a thick wire has less electrical resistance than a thin one. e.g. extension cords shouldn't be used permanently because they are usually thinner wires and can overheat

Factors Affecting Resistance 4. Temperature: as temperature increases, its electrical resistance increases e.g. solenoid switches and furnace igniters

Factors Affecting Resistance 4. Temperature: as temperature increases, its electrical resistance increases e.g. solenoid switches and furnace igniters -if igniter heats up, its resistance increases

Factors Affecting Resistance 4. Temperature: as temperature increases, its electrical resistance increases e.g. solenoid switches and furnace igniters -if igniter heats up, its resistance increases -solenoid opens and gas is released & furnace lights

Ohm’s Law

Ohm’s Law In 1827, Georg Ohm noticed a relationship between current, potential difference and resistance After many experiments he noted that: For a given resistance, as the electric potential difference across a load increases, so does the current

Ohm’s Law Ohm’s Law- the relationship between resistance, current and potential difference. For a given potential difference, as the resistance increases, the current decreases

Another way to look at resistance.. The flow of electrons can be compared to people running an obstacle course More obstacles= runners moving slower through the course Wider course=more runner able to go through at the same time

Electron flow link The amount of resistance in a circuit affects the amount of current(electrons) that can flow through it More obstacles, slower flow of electrons Wider= more electrons can flow through # of loads= more loads means more resistance

Factors that can increase resistance Connecting more loads in series Connecting loads in series rather than parallel Making the conductor longer Making the conductor thinner Using material with a high resistance

Ohm’s formula
