Electrical resistance

Layer 1 — Physicsin the electronics subtree

The proportionality between applied voltage and the steady-state current it drives through a conductor, R = V/I. Measured in ohms (Ω = V/A). Microscopically arises from charge-carrier scattering (phonons, defects, impurities). Nonlinear…
