Electrical Resistance
Electrical Resistance: Overview
This topic covers concepts, such as, Voltmeter, V-I Graph, Difference between Emf and Potential Difference & Measuring Resistance etc.
Important Questions on Electrical Resistance
What are the differences between EMF and potential difference?


An example of non-ohmic resistance is:

A lamp can work on a mains taking . What value of the resistance must be connected in series with it so that it can be operated from mains giving the same power.

A copper wire with a diameter of and a resistivity of . What is the length of this wire required to get a resistance of ? How much does the resistance change if the diameter is doubled?

Two metal wires of the same material, A and B, are joined in parallel. Wire A has a radius of and a length of . Wire B has a radius of and a length of . Calculate the ratio of total parallel combination and the resistance of wire A.

Give two examples of non-ohmic devices.
