How Do You Determine The Resistance Of A Resistor?

A resistor opposes the electric current flowing through it. This is known as electrical resistance and is measured in ohm.

Resistance can be calculated with Ohm’s law when the current is known and the voltage drop is measured.
The resistance is dependent on the shape and material of the resistor.

Resistance = decrease of voltage through a resistor/current flowing through a resistor.

R = IV

Where V = voltage difference between the two ends of a resistor (V)

R = resistance (Ω)
