Resistors

For my physics blog post this week I took a picture of my refrigerator because that’s an example of a resistor. Resistors can be found in a parallel and series circuit and can be any appliance that asks the charge to do work. When the charge does work, the current will slow down. Resistance is measure in Ohms (Ω) and can be found using the equation R = V/I, or “Ohm’s Law,” named after the famous German physicist, Georg Ohm. With this equation, it’s easy to see that resistance (R) and current (I) are inversely proportional. If you want more current, you need less resistance, and vice versa.
