Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Resistance is the property of a ____ that causes it to resist the flow of electric current.
A
Substance
B
Current
C
Energy
D
Power
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -i.e. resistance is defined as the property of conductor due to which it opposes the flow of electric current through it.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is B True The property of an electrical component to resist the flow of electric current is termed as electrical resistance.

Detailed explanation-3: -resistance, in electricity, property of an electric circuit or part of a circuit that transforms electric energy into heat energy in opposing electric current. Resistance involves collisions of the current-carrying charged particles with fixed particles that make up the structure of the conductors.

Detailed explanation-4: -Resistance serves as an indicator that quantifies how readily current will flow in a circuit using ohms () as the unit. Current increases when resistance decreases, and it decreases when resistance increases. Resistors are essential in order to ensure that current flows at the appropriate level in circuits.

Detailed explanation-5: -Insulator: insulators resist the flow of electricity.
