Topics
- Resistivity
- Resistance
Description
Learn about the physics of resistance in a wire. Change its resistivity,
length, and area to see how they affect the wire's resistance.
Sample Learning Goals
- Predict how changing each variable will affect the resistance.
- Explain the difference between resistance and resistivity.
