Resistance
• Resistance is defined as the ratio of potential difference to current.
• R = ΔV / I = constant

P=I•ΔV
• R = ΔV / I ΔV = I•R• P = I•(I•R) = I2R

Let’s practice
• A 1050 W electric toaster operates on a household circuit of 120 V. What is the resistance of the wire that makes up the heating element of the toaster?
• Answer: 14 Ohms
