ABSTRACT
Resistance is associated with the phenomenon of energy dissipation. In its simplest form, it is a measure of the opposition to the flow of current by a piece of electric material. Resistance dissipates energy in the form of heat; the best conductors have low resistance and produce little heat, whereas the poorest conductors have high resistance and produce the most heat. For example, if a current of 10A flowed through a resistance of 1Ω, the heat would be 100W. If the same current flowed through 100Ω, the heat would be 10,000W, which is found with the equation https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> P = I 2 R = V 2 R https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203758281/160e91c3-dfba-4640-9d89-ba9d147227c8/content/eq170_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
