1 Resistance and Ohm’s Law
SPH4C

2 Resistance is the property of substances that impedes the free flow of electrons.

3 Resistance is the property of substances that impedes the free flow of electrons. It is measured in units of Ohms (W). Resistance

4 Loads such as lights and heating elements have a resistance: they impede the flow of electrons and convert the energy of electrons into another form of energy such as light or heat. Loads and Resistance

5 A resistor is a load placed in a circuit simply to impede the flow of electrons and thus control the current to the rest of the circuit. Resistors

6 Resistors and Resistance
The resistance of a resistor is typically indicated by colour-coded bands: Resistors and Resistance

7 Resistors and Resistance

10 Resistance and Current
The current that flows through a resistor will be equal to: Resistance and Current

11 Resistance and Current
The current that flows through a resistor will be equal to: This is called Ohm’s Law and often written: Resistance and Current
