Resistance in a Conductor: The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is the opposition to the passage of an electric current through that conductor. Electrical resistance shares some conceptual parallels with the mechanical notion of friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm (Ω).An object of uniform cross section has a resistance proportional to its resistivity and length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. All materials show some resistance‚ except

Antibiotic resistance In recent years a challenge to the effective treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by microbes is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR results in reduced effectiveness of antibiotics‚ making the treatment of patients very difficult and sometimes impossible. The impact on especially susceptible patients is most evident‚ resulting in prolonged illness and increased mortality. The total problem caused by AMR on medical field in general and healthcare sector

Peaceful resistance to laws positively impacts a free society because it is considered a form of expression. The First Amendment protects our right to freedom of expression‚ so peaceful resistance is completely lawful. In addition‚ peaceful resistance is a way for those with strong opinions to get their thoughts out to the public.

Killer at large: Antibiotic Resistance Remember that teacher who would make students use antibacterials on the way in and out of the classroom? Scientist and medical professionals have now realized that all antibacterials‚ antibiotics and antimicrobials are contributing to a large complication that may make it so no bacteriums can be killed. Since the creation of antibiotics in 1896‚ doctors and medical practitioners have been able to save hundreds of millions of

Batteries‚ Resistance and Current “Battery-Resistor”: Check “show battery” and “show cores”‚ watch what happens‚ adjust some variables 1. Why do electrons (blue dots) move? Draw a diagram of the battery‚ label the flow of electrons. The flow of current (+) is opposite; draw this and note if toward or away from + terminal of the battery. The blue dots indicating the electrons move because there is a voltage across the battery in which the electrons flow away from the positive terminal
