l.Objective.
-The objective of the study is to Understand the Literatures about Resistance.
ll. Introduction.
- The resistance in an electrical circuit is a measurement of the resistance to current
flow. The ohm, or the Greek letter omega, stands for the unit of measurement for
resistance. The name of the unit of resistance is derived from Georg Simon Ohm
(1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage,
current, and resistance. Ohm's Law, which bears his name, asserts that the current
flowing through a conductor is inversely proportional to the resistance and directly
proportional to the potential difference (voltage). Ohm's Law is expressed as V = IR,
where V= is the voltage, I= is the current, and R= is the resistance. If you know the
voltage of the battery in the circuit and how much resistance is in the circuit, you may
use Ohm's Law to identify the properties of a circuit, such as how much current is
flowing through it.RESISTIVITY: the resistance 𝑅 of a wire of length 𝐿 and cross-
sectional
area 𝐴 is
𝑅 = 𝜌 L/A
Where 𝜌 is a constant called resistivity and is a characteristic of the
material from which the wire is made.
For 𝐿 in 𝑚, 𝐴 in 𝑚2, and 𝑅 in Ω, the unit of 𝜌 is Ωm.
Using the formula:
𝑉=𝐴𝑥𝐿
then
𝑅 = 𝜌 V/A^2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑅 = 𝜌 L^2/V
RESISTANCE VARIES WITH TEMPERATURE: If a wire has a resistance 𝑅𝑜
at a temperature 𝑇𝑜 then it’s 𝑅 at temperature 𝑇 is
𝑅 = 𝑅𝑜 + 𝛼𝑅𝑜(𝑇 − 𝑇𝑜)
Where 𝛼 is the temperature coefficient of resistance of the material of the
wire. Usually, 𝛼 varies with temperature and so this relation is applicable only
over a small temperature range. The units of 𝛼 are 𝐾−1 or ℃−1.
Kirchhoff's law
A pair of principles governing the conservation of current and energy in electrical
circuits were created by German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff in 1845. Kirchhoff's
Current Law by Gustav Kirchhoff is one of the fundamental laws used in circuit
analysis. These two laws are called Kirchhoff's Voltage and Current Law. According
to his current theory, the total current entering a circuit junction is identical to the total
current exiting the same junction on a parallel line. This is because, since no charge is
lost, it has nowhere else to go. KIRCHHOFF’S NODE (OR JUNCTION) RULE /
KIRCHHOFF’S CURRENT LAW
(KCL)
The sum of all the currents coming into a point or node (i.e. a junction
where three or more current-carrying leads attach) must equal the sum of all currents
leaving the point.
KIRCHHOFF’S LOOP (OR CIRCUIT) RULE / KIRCHHOFF’S VOLTAGE LAW
(KVL)
Drawing a closed circuit reveals that the algebraic sum of the potential
changes are nil. Potential increases are positive and potential decreases are negative in
this total. Through a resistor, current constantly flows from high potential to low
potential. The potential shift as one passes through a resistor in the direction of the
current is negative since it represents a potential drop. Pure emf sources always have a
positive terminal that is high potential. regardless of the flow of current through the
emf source at the terminal. If each new loop equation involves a voltage change not
present in a prior equation, the set of equations obtained by applying Kirchhoff's loop
rule will be independent.
lll. Discussion
A. Definition
-Ohm's Law-a law in electricity: The strength of a direct current is inversely related to
the resistance of the circuit and directly proportional to the potential difference. a rule
of relationship between the resistance of the current's path, the electric current flowing
between two places, and the voltage differential between them. V is the voltage
differential, I is the current in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms. According to
mathematics, these three variables equal V = IR. Higher resistance results in
decreased current flow for a given voltage.
Resistors in Series and Parallel-a series circuit, the output current of one resistor
feeds into the input of another, resulting in an equal current in all of the resistors. All
of the resistor leads on one side of the resistors are connected together in the parallel
circuit, as are all of the leads on the other.
Kirchhoff's Law-Physics states that the algebraic total of all currents in all branches
that meet at any point in an electric network is zero. The algebraic total of the
products obtained by multiplying each branch's resistance by its current corresponds
to the algebraic sum of the electromotive forces in all of the branches that make up the
circuit if any closed circuit is selected from among the branches of an electric
network. The sum of all currents exiting a node in any electrical network is always
equal to zero, according to Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL). It is based on the idea of
electric charge conservation. The rule is also known as Kirchhoff's first rule. In
formula form this is given by: n∑i=1Ii=0.
D. Conductance
-The unit of conductance, the siemens (S), is the reciprocal of resistance (1/R), and
it is denoted by the upside-down ohms symbol mho, or. As a result, a conductor has
1 ohm (1) of resistance when its conductance is 1 siemens (1S). Therefore, if the
resistance is doubled, the conductance is cut in half, and vice versa, as shown by
the equations siemens = 1/ohms and ohms = 1/siemens. While a conductor's
resistance indicates how much resistance it presents to the flow of electricity, a
conductor's conductance reveals how easily electricity may move through it.
Therefore, metals with very high conductance values, such as copper, aluminum, or
silver, are considered to be good conductors.
