Resistance
Important points:
same with capacitance, resistance does not depend on !V and I
Resistance depends on material property resistivity ", length of wire l and cross sectional area A
direction of the current I is same as direction of electric field
conventional current is flowing positive (+) charges though in reality electrons flow

1. Imagine positive charges pass first through R1 and then through%R2. Compared to the current in R1, the current in R2 is(a) smaller(b) larger(c) the same.
2. With the switch in the circuit of closed (left), there is no current in R2, because the current has an alternate zero-resistance path through the switch. There is current in R1 and this current is measured with the ammeter (a device for measuring current) at the right side of the circuit. If the switch is opened (right), there is current in R2. What happens to the reading on the ammeter when the switch is opened?(a) the reading goes up(b) the reading goes down(c) the reading does not change.

Exercise
A

C
In solving complicated circuit problemsapply Junction rule first (conservation of current)
You may assign any direction of current as long as it is reasonable (does not violate common sense!)
Then apply the loop rule
Write down the equations for loop rules concerning loop A, B, C and the outer loop of the circuit following clockwise direction. (there must be four equations!)
