Resistance Summary
Resistance resists the flow of current.
Resistance is determined by a conductor's atoms, length and area.
Resistance is low in a conductor and high in an insulator.
A resistor is a component designed to reduce the flow of current.
Resistors are used to control the flow of current through a circuit or to convert energy into heat and light.
A resistor is represented by a rectangle:
