Best Practice Guide GlossaryBrowse the glossary alphabetically: RESISTANCE (ELECTRICAL) Return to list of termsThe ability of all conductors of electricity to resist the flow of current, turning some of it into heat. Resistance depends on the cross section of the conductor (the smaller the cross section, the greater the resistance) and its temperature (the hotter the cross section, the greater its resistance).
