What is meant by resistance?
(N/A) Resistance is the property of a conductor to oppose the flow of current (electrons) through it. It is defined as the ratio of the potential difference $(V)$ applied across the conductor to the current $(I)$ flowing through it, expressed by the formula $R = V/I$. The $SI$ unit of resistance is the ohm $(\Omega)$.
