how does a resistor provide resistance to a current?

Question

anonymous · Answer

It simply decreases the rate of flow of current and that is the resistance of the resistor

anonymous · Answer

concider resistor in parelle like different paths and current as water when water flows from thes paths it will dived its self.when  more oppsition less water less, wide path more water.

Resistors have two terminals and a semiconductor, such as carbon, in the middle. A semiconductor is just what it sounds like: something that conducts electricity but not that well. While conductors like copper and gold are used in circuits to let electricity flow freely, a semiconductor is used to provide some resistance to the flow of electricity.

When electricity flows through the semiconductor, some of it is turned into heat. The higher the voltage, the higher the energy is.
