What is resistance and potential difference??
Answers
Explanation:
Resistance;
It is the hindrance to the movement of electrons in a conductor. The electrons tend to move when there is a potential difference across the conductor. The formula of resistance is;
R = p L / A
Potential Difference;
It is the difference in voltage levels between two points or the work required to move charges in conductor . Due to difference in voltage, the current flows.
Relationship between V and R;
V = I x R
Difference between current resistance and potential difference
• Current resistance
- When two points are separated by the potential difference and there flow of charge needs to be measured then it's termed as current resistance.
- This phenomenon is always measured in Amps.
• Potential difference
- When electrical potential energy is measured between two points then it's termed as potential difference.
- This phenomenon is always measured in Volts.
