The Resistance

Resistance in electrical terms is the measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current. Think of it like a narrow pipe that makes it harder for water to pass through; similarly, high resistance limits current flow, while low resistance allows it to pass more easily. Resistance depends on the material's properties, length, and temperature. It is measured in ohms (Ω). Understanding resistance helps in designing circuits, ensuring components function correctly, and preventing overheating or damage by controlling current flow efficiently.
