A brief overview of resistance, resistors, and resistivity for introductory algebra-based physics courses such as Regents Physics and Honors Physics. For more information, check out http://www.aplusphysics.com, or my new book, Honors Physics Essentials, available at http://www.aplusphysics.com/honors.
Note: The answer to sample problem #3 should be silver, as silver has a lower resistivity than gold!
