DC CIRCUIT 15. Factors Affecting resistance.

__________1. It is a property of matter that result from _____________16. It is the resistance to a current if
the presence or movement of electric charge. According to passed between the opposite faces of a unit cube of the
modern theory, matter is electrical in nature material. It is measured in ohm-m.

_________2. These are materials that allow the essentially
free passage of current when connected to a battery or
other sources of electrical energy.
__________3. These are materials that posses low
conductivity or offer a relatively high resistance to the flow
of electric current. They are also called dielectrics.
__________4. These are materials that have conductivity
about midway between good conductors and good
insulator.
__________5. It is the property of some bodies which
cause them to exert forces on each other. Two bodies with
positive or negative charges repel each other, while
opposite or unlike charges attract each other. A body is
said to be charged if it has either excess or deficit electrons
from normal due share.
__________6. It is a unit of electric charge named after
Charles Augustin de Coulomb (1763-1806).
17. Effect of Temperature in resistance
_____________18. It is the measure of the ease with
which electric current will flow through a material. It is the
reciprocal of resistance.
_____________19. It is the unit of conductance named
after two German Engineers. Werner and William Siemens
(19th Century).
_____________20 It is any device which exhibits solely the
property of resistance. It can either be linear or non-linear.
_____________21. These are resistors whose resistance
remain constant for different terminal currents.
_____________22. These are resistors whose resistance
does not remain constant for different terminal currents.
23. Classification of resistors
24. Type of resistors

__________7. It is the motion or transfer of charges from
one region of a conductor to another.
__________8. It is the unit of electric current named after
Andre Marie Ampere (1775-1836).
25. It is the amount, in percent by which the actual
(measured) resistance value can deviate from the color-
coded resistance value.

__________9. It is the work done in moving unit charge

(+1 C) through an element from one terminal to the other.
It is also called as electric potential or electromotive force
(emf).

__________10. It is the unit of electric voltage name in

honor of the Italian Physicist Alessandro Guissepe Antonio
Anastacio Volta (1745-1827), the inventor of the voltaic
battery.

_____________11. It is the difference in the electric

potentials of two charged bodies. Its unit is the volt.

12.Methods by which electric current can be produced.

_____________13. It is the property of a material that

limits the amount of flow of current and converts electric
energy to heat energy.

_____________14. It is the unit of electric resistance

named in honor of the German Physicist Georg Simon
Ohm (1787-1854).
