Define the term electrical resistance as applied to current electricity

Explanation:

Electrical resistance can be defined as the opposition to the flow of current in an electric circuit or wire. The resistance converts electrical energy into thermal energy, this serves as friction in mechanical systems. And this electrical energy converted to thermal is dissipated.

By ohm's law we have

Resistance R = Voltage V/ Current I

r=rho l/a where a is the area, l is the length and rho is resistivity so the greater the area the lesser the resistance thats why the earth pin is thicker bcos current follow the shortest path, so less resistive .

their crystal patterns have been disrupted by stress
