Answer 3

Let's start with the definition of resistance.
As the name suggests, it means TO OPPOSE THE FLOW.

So, Resistance in circuit is defined as opposition that a substance offers to the flow of electric current.

Answer 4

got it ?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Great ! Now move on to next part

Answer 7

As we know that there is a relation between voltage and resistance.
And the relation is because of power dissipated by the circuit ,

Answer 8

\[\large \bf P=\frac{V^2}{R}\]

Answer 9

resistance is the opposition to current flow. example, if a light bulb circuit and resistance remained the same and the voltage increased then the current being directly proportional to the voltage would increase causing the light bulb to increase in brilliance which means it would become brighter if the voltage increases high enough beyond the voltage rating of the bulb, the bulb will burn out

Answer 10

If Resistance (R) is constant and Voltage(V) is increasing , then the power through the bulb will be eventually higher . This would cause the bulb shine brighter and to an extent, it would burn out !

Answer 11

thank you flux :)
