a narrow wire is used to slow the flow of electrons in a circuit. you would write the amount current  is slowed using what units?

anonymous · Answer

ohms, volts,degrees,amps

What a terribly worded question - they make it so difficult when they do not use rigorous terms.

What they really mean is the difference in RESISTANCE between the wires. If you are studying electricity then you should know the unit for resistance.

The question implies that the second wire has higher resistance , because it conducts less current.

There IS no such property as 'conduction' as asked in the question.
There is a property call conductance, which is simple (1/resistance)

If you answer the question below then it will be what the question means:

"Which unit describes the difference in resistance between the two wires"

Agree with MrNood, a terrible question.
