Learning Goal
By the end of this class, we should be able to: Define and identify the correct units and
measurement tool of resistance Describe resistance and current in terms of
the water model

Minds On How do we control the flow of
electricity?

Minds On
How does power get to your house?
![Page 6: Resistance & Water Model](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051702/56816358550346895dd40cab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Minds On How can we use that power in our
house?

Minds On How can my electronics use/control the
electricity?

Resistance Is the degree to which
a substance opposes the flow of electric current through it
All substances allow electron flow to through them to some extent So nothing is entirely
resistant to current

Resistance
Conductors, such as metals, allow electrons to flow through it fairly easily and therefore have limited resistance Insulators are vice-
versa More resistance the
lower the conductivity

Resistance
Resistance is measured with an ohmmeter Units are in ohms (Ω) Multimeters can also
be used which have a combination of all 3 meters (potential difference, current or resistance)

Resistance Resistance results in
the slowing of electrons and transfers the electrical energy into other forms of energy Like heat and/or light i.e. heaters are
resistors for a purpose, filaments in a light bulb are resistors

Other Factors Effecting Resistance

Resistors: Type 1
Wire wound: Has a wire mask of heat-
resistant metal wrapped in an insulating core
The longer/ thinner the wire the more the resistance
Usually 0.1 Ω -200k Ω 200k Ω = thinnest
![Page 14: Resistance & Water Model](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051702/56816358550346895dd40cab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Resistors: Type 2 Carbon-composition:
Made of carbon mixed with other materials Carbon mixture is moulded
into a cylinder with a wire at each end
By varying the size and composition of the cylinder the resistances can vary from 10 Ω to 20 M200k Ω
Cheaper but less precise

Resistors
Resistors can be used to control current (or the potential difference) in a circuit Always remember
that they can create heat and can burn so you should be cautious when using them

Water Model Think of these new
concepts in terms of pipes filled with water Not all pipes transport water
equally well. The longer and thinner the pipe is, the more resistant it is to water flowing through it The easiest way for water to
flow through is a wide short tube
![Page 17: Resistance & Water Model](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051702/56816358550346895dd40cab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Water Model
Think of the circuit as a pipe Amount of water
following through a specific portion on the tube per second is like current
Resistance is the size of the tube
