Resistance
Resistance
As the electrons move through the thin metal filament of the lamp, they encounter more opposition to motion than they typically would in a thick piece of wire. This opposition to electric current depends on the type of material, its cross-sectional area, and its temperature. It is technically known as resistance.
It is that property of a conductor by virtue of which it opposes/resists the flow of charges through it. The SI unit of resistance is ohm, it is represented by the Greek letter
Resistance is the obstruction offered to the flow of electric current. (It can be said that conductors have low resistance and insulators have very high resistance) This resistance serves to limit the amount of current through the circuit with a given amount of voltage supplied by the battery, as compared with the short circuit where we had nothing but a wire joining one end of the voltage source (battery) to the other.
The S.I. unit of resistance is ohm
The reciprocal of resistance is called conductance G= 1/R
Its S.I. unit is or mho or siemen (s).
Some Important Terms Related to Resistance:
Resistor: The component which the offers resistance to the flow of electrons in an electric circuit is known as resistor. Resistors are used to make those electrical devices, where high resistance is required. It reduces current in a circuit, e.g. alloys like nichrome, manganin and constantan.
Rheostat or Variable resistance It is a variable resistor,which is used to control the flow of electric current by manually increasing or decreasing the resistance
Good conductor A material which offers less resistance to the flow of electrons or electric current in an electric circuit is known as a good conductor, e silver, copper, aluminium are good conductors, among these, silver is the best conductor of electricity.
Poor conductor A material which offers higher resistance to the flow of electrons or electric current in an electric circuit is known as poor conductor, e.g. mercury, lead, stainless steel, alloys of iron and chromium are poor conductors.

10thUsually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...

10thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.

10thThe experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
