Resistance of a wire depends on
length and diameter
1 of 15
The power of a device is maximum when its resistance
is the same as that of the power source

Ohm's Law can be applied to a light bulb when
it has reached a steady temperature
4 of 15
When resistors are in parallel, the total resistance is
less than the smallest resistance in the circuit

A switch is normally connected across
the live wire

The National Grid uses thick copper wires in order to
keep the resistance low

In the event of a drop in voltage, a bulb could go
dim

If two resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is 25 Ohms. If they are connected in parallel, it goes down to 6 Ohms. The possible values of the resistances in Ohms are
15 and 10
