<h2>Question:</h2>

DL: Activity 2.3 Resistance

Complete the questions based on the Resistance presentation.

a. All resistors ___________ or _____________ the flow of electrons.

b. As resistance __________________ current _______________________

<h2></h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

a) limits or opposes

b) increases, decreases

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Resistors are electrical devices used to resist, limit, oppose or hinder the flow of electrons in a circuit. This resistance causes a reduction in current and an increase in voltage in the circuit. In order words, as resistance increases, the current decreases and voltage increases.

This was further stated by Ohm's law that states that as long as the resistance in a wire/conductor remains constant, the voltage across it is directly proportional to the current flowing through a conductor. i.e

V = IR

Where;

R = constant called resistance

I = current flowing through the wire

V = voltage across the wire
