What is the definition of resistance in physics?<\/h2>\n

What is Resistance of a Conductor<\/strong>
\nThe movement of electron gives rise to the flow of current through metals<\/a>. The moving electrons collide with each other as well as with the positive ions present in the metallic conductor. These collisions tend to slow down the speed of the electrons and hence oppose the flow of electric current<\/a>.
\nThe property of a conductor by virtue of which it opposes the flow of electric current through it is called its resistance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
