PARAGRAPH-II
30. Electrons move more easily through some conductors than others
when a potential difference is applied . The opposition of the
conductor to current is called resistance. Collisions are the basic
cause of conduction .when potential difference is applied across its
ends of a conductor , its free electrons get accelerated . On their way,
they frequently collide with the positive metal ions , i.e their motion
is opposed and this opposition to the flow of electrons is called
resistance . The number of collisions that the electrons make with
atoms /ions depends on the arrangement of atoms or ions depends
on the arrangement of atoms or ions in a conductor . A long wire
offers more resistance than short wire because there will be more
collisions in the long wire . A thick wire offers less resistance than a
thin wire because in a thick wire , more area of cross-section is
available for the flow of electrons .
