In physics, the resistance of a strand of wire is affected by four factors: the material of the wire, its thickness, its temperature, and its length.
In my experiment, our group chose to study the...

A components resistance is defined as a ratio of a voltage across it to the current flowing through it.
R = V/I
The unit of resistance is the ohm. A component has the resistance of 1 ohm if the cur...
