Resistance:

When current flow is obstructed in an electrical circuit, it is said to be experiencing resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms. It is denoted by the Greek letter omega Ω. Mathematically, Resistance R=ρ.lA, Where ρ= resistivity, A= cross-sectional area , l= length of the conductor,The resistance of a conductor depends upon its resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area. It also depends upon other physical factors like temperature etc. Thus, the resistance of a conductor depends on resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area of the conductor.
