Electrical Resistance

Electrical Resistance is the measure of how difficult it is for a current to pass through a conductor.

This quantity often measured in ohms [math]\displaystyle{ \Omega (\frac{V}{A}) }[/math]

The Main Idea

State, in your own words, the main idea for this topic Electric Field of Capacitor

A Mathematical Model

In a circuit the Electrical Resistance is often calculated as [math]\displaystyle{ R = \frac{|\Delta V|}{I} }[/math] Often written [math]\displaystyle{ I = \frac{|\Delta V|}{R} }[/math] where V is the voltage and I is the current and R is the resistance.
