Mastering Electrical Resistance and Ohm's Law Through Engaging Scenarios

The video tutorial explains electrical resistance and resistors, starting with the concept of electric current as a flow of electrons through a conductor. It introduces Ohm's Law, which relates voltage, current, and resistance, and provides example calculations. The tutorial also discusses how temperature affects resistance, particularly in conductors and filament bulbs.

What is the primary function of a resistor in an electrical circuit?

• To increase the voltage

• To decrease the current

• To withstand and limit the flow of electric charge

• To store electrical energy

How is electric current measured?

• In joules

• In amperes

• In ohms

• In volts

What is required to move electrons through a conductor?

• A large conductor

• A magnetic field

• A difference in electrical potential

• A high temperature

Which of the following statements about conductors is true?

• All conductors have the same resistance

• Conductors with different metallic structures have different resistances

• Resistance in conductors decreases with increased voltage

• Conductors do not require voltage to conduct electricity

What does Ohm's Law state?

• Resistance equals voltage multiplied by current

• Voltage equals current multiplied by resistance

• Current equals voltage multiplied by resistance

• Voltage equals current divided by resistance

If you double the voltage across a wire, what happens to the current according to Ohm's Law?

• The current is halved

• The current remains the same

• The current quadruples

• The current doubles

In the example given, what is the resistance of a wire carrying 5 amps with a potential difference of 80 volts?

• 400 ohms

• 80 ohms

• 16 ohms

• 8 ohms

What happens to the resistance of a conductor as its temperature increases?

• Resistance decreases

• Resistance remains constant

• Resistance increases

• Resistance fluctuates randomly

Why does the resistance of a filament bulb increase as it gets hotter?

• Because the atoms vibrate more, causing more collisions with electrons

• Because the voltage decreases

• Because the filament contracts

• Because the filament expands

What is the symbol for resistance in electrical circuits?

• Ω

• J

• A

• V
