Resistor capacitance which affect the relation between voltage and current in alternating current circuits. The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon Ohm. An ohm is equivalent to a volt per ampere. Since resistors are specified and manufactured over a very large range of values, the derived units of milliohm (1 mΩ = 10 Ω), kilohm (1 kΩ = 10 Ω), and megohm (1 MΩ = 10 Ω) are also in common usage. The total resistance of resistors connected in series is the sum of their individual resistance values. The total resistance of resistors
Electrical resistance and conductance referred to as a "chordal resistance" or "static resistance", since it corresponds to the inverse slope of a chord between the origin and an "I–V" curve. In other situations, the derivative formula_2 may be most useful; this is called the "differential resistance". In the hydraulic analogy, current flowing through a wire (or resistor) is like water flowing through a pipe, and the voltage drop across the wire is like the pressure drop that pushes water through the pipe. Conductance is proportional to how much flow occurs for a given pressure, and resistance is proportional to how much pressure is required
