is a property that resists the flow of electrons in a conductor.

  • A. Capacitance
  • B. Inductance
  • C. Resistance
  • D. None of above

Step-by-step solution

Resistance is the property that opposes the flow of electric current (electrons) in a conductor. It is defined by Ohm's law, which states V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. Capacitance stores electrical energy, inductance opposes changes in current, and resistance directly impedes current flow.
