Answer 2

do you know this equation

\[V = I \ R\]

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

a resistor "resists" the flow of current, hence the name.

does that help?

Answer 5

a little

Answer 6

a battery is an energy source. it pushes charge around a electric circuit. the more resistance in the circuit, the slower the charge will flow. that flow of chage we call current.

imagine you are pushing your car up a hill. it's kinda the same thing. the hill will resist/ make it harder for you. the steep the hill, the harder it gets

electricl resistance works the same way

Answer 7

ohh i get it now
