    In this video, we start looking at resistance. Students sometimes find the idea of resistance tricky at first so I'll take you through the basic ideas and then how to calculate resistance.

    Sir, please reply. I want to know, can resistance change the amount of current or does it only change potential difference? Since in some components like a diode, current can’t flow through in a certain direction, so it would be 0A (I think) but I thought that current remains the same throughout a series circuit. I’m confused.

    • @Freesciencelessons
      @Freesciencelessons  14 днів тому +1

      Those are two questions really. Firstly the diode. A diode will stop current flow if it's in the wrong direction so in that case there will be no current. In the case of the resistance, you need to look at the equation R = V / I. If we increase the resistance (but keep the current the same), then potential difference must increase. If we increase the resistance but keep the potential difference the same, then the current must decrease.

    Hi sir, at 2:12 will lamp B be brighter than lamp A, as more electrical energy is being transferred per coulomb of charge into light and thermal energy, so resistance makes a bulb brighter?
    2. I'm a bit confused about the definition of resistance. Can I think of it as the amount of energy required to push the electrons through the vibrating atoms?
    If you could please take the time to answer my questions, I would be happy because this is a part of physics I don't understand.

    Hi Sir 🇨🇭 I have a really important question: what do you mean by “ the resistance tells us the potential difference required to drive a current through a circuit”. Doesn’t resistance slow down an electric current? I am struggling to understand this so please could you answer these questions sir as soon as possible sir as I have physics gcse exam next week. Ty ♥️

    • @Freesciencelessons
      @Freesciencelessons  2 роки тому +15

      Resistance is the potential difference required to drive a current through a circuit. We can see that from the equation R = V / I. That's essentially the definition of resistance. For example, if a potential difference of 100V drives a current of 10A, then the resistance is 100 / 10 = 10 ohms. A current will only pass through a circuit if there's a potential difference. If you apply the same pd to two circuits, then the circuit with the lower resistance will have a greater current.
      You can think of it in terms of how easy it is for the current to flow (although this is not really a scientific concept, so it's just for simplicity sake and should not be used in an exam). For example, if a wire has a low resistance then that means that it's "easier" for the current to pass through. Therefore it will take less pd to drive that current, compared to a wire with a greater resistance (which is "harder" to drive a current through). I hope that helps.

    Shouldn’t lamp b have less current because more resistance?

      If the potential difference was the same across resistors A and B, then the bulb in B would have 1/10th the current that bulb A has, since bulb B has 10x the resistance of bulb A. However, since bulb B has 10x the potential difference as bulb A, the current will be the same in both bulbs.
