Which statement best describes resistance? Resistance is
2 answers:
Answer:
How well a material conducts an electrical charge and is measured in ohms.
Explanation:
Resistance is the property of a conductor which opposes the flow of electric current. Its SI unit is ohms and represented by . According to Ohm's law voltage is directly proportional to the current flowing through the circuit.
It depends directly on the length of the conductor and inversely on its area of cross section. It measure how well a material conducts an electrical charge. Hence, the correct option is (b).

Answer:
The magnitude of electrostatic force on each charge is quarter of the magnitude of initial electrostatic force. ( ¹/₄ F)
Explanation:
The electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law;
where;
Q₁ and Q₂ are the magnitude of the charges
r is the distance between the charges
k is Coulomb's constant
Since the charges are identical;
Q₁ = Q
Q₂ = Q
the electrostatic force experienced by each charge is given by;
When each of the spheres has lost half of its initial charge;
Q₁ = Q/2
Q₂ = Q/2
Therefore, the magnitude of electrostatic force on each charge is quarter of the magnitude of initial electrostatic force.
