Resistance & Current

Test yourself

Resistance

Resistance is a measure of how difficult it is for current to flow through a component.

Charge flow

When charge flows in an electric circuit, the size of the current is affected by two things:
1. The resistance: If the resistance is increased, the current will decrease.
2. The potential difference: If the potential difference is increased the current will increase.

Units - Ohms

Resistance is measured in ohms, Ω.
