Question 1

What does resistance measure?

  • Flow of current
  • Opposition to current flow
  • Voltage level

💡 Hint: Focus on what slows down the flow in circuits.

Question 2

True or False: Ohm's Law states that resistance is inversely proportional to voltage.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Revisit the formula V = I × R.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the resistance of a 3 m long copper wire with a cross-sectional area of 1.5 mm². The resistivity of copper is 1.68 x 10^-8 Ω·m.

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to convert mm² to m² first!

Question 2

Explain how you would design a circuit to ensure it doesn't overload when powering multiple devices with different resistances.

💡 Hint: Think about how resistances add in series and the current division rule in parallel.
