Resistance Formula

The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current through that conductor.

Electric resistance equals the product of the length and electric resistivity divided by the area.

Formula

QuantityVariable["R", "ElectricResistance"] == (QuantityVariable["L", "Length"]*QuantityVariable["ρ", "ElectricResistivity"])/QuantityVariable["A", "Area"]
