Is opposition to current flow
   The opposition that limits the amount of
    current that can be produced by the applied
    voltage.
   It is a measure of how much an object
    opposes the passage of electrons.
Conductors have very little resistance while insulators
have large amounts of resistance.

       • The atoms of conductors have large amounts of free
       electrons, which can be moved easily by a potential
       difference.


       • while atoms of insulators have few.
 The practical unit of resistance
 Named after the German physicist,
Georg Simon Ohm
 The symbol for resistance is R
 The abbreviation used for ohm unit is the
  Greek letter omega, Ω
 In diagrams, resistance is indicated by a
  zigzag line
     Opposite of resistance
    The ability for electricity to flow a certain
     path
     Its symbol is G
    Its unit is Siemens ( S )
    Named after Ernst von Siemens

    Fun fact: The old unit name for conductance is mho, which is ohm spelled
              backwards!
   G is the reciprocal of R
