4 Physical Resistor Resistance: Traveling through a resistor, electrons bump into things which slows them down. R = r L /A r: Resistivity: Density of bumps L: Length of resistor A: Cross sectional area of resistor Ohms Law I = V/R Cause and effect (sort of like a=f/m) potential difference cause current to flow resistance regulate the amount of flow Double potential difference double current I = (VA)/ (r L) L A - I Physics 102: Lecture 5, Slide 4
