Question

Why resistors called as appreciable resistance of conductor?

Answer 1

Thus, motion of electrons through a conductor is retarded by its resistance. A component of a given size that offers a low resistance is a good conductor. A conductor having some appreciable resistance is called a resistor. ... thicker wire has a larger cross-sectional area.

Answer 2

The electric current flowingthrough a metallicwire is directly proportional to the potential difference V, across its ends provided its temperature remains the same. This is calledOhm's law.. A conductor having someappreciable resistance is called a resistor. ... This is known as the heating effect of electric current.
