   • ▪ the underground movement formed in France during World War II to fight the German occupying forces and the Vichy government.
   • 2. the ability not to be affected by something, especially adversely: "some of us have a lower resistance to cold than others"
   • ▪ lack of sensitivity to a drug, insecticide, etc., especially as a result of continued exposure or genetic change: "many insects show resistance to at least one chemical" Similar ability to fight offability to counteractability to withstandimmunity fromdefenses againstresilience
   • 3. the impeding, slowing, or stopping effect exerted by one material thing on another: "air resistance would need to be reduced by streamlining"
   • 4. the degree to which a substance or device opposes the passage of an electric current, causing energy dissipation. Ohm's law resistance (measured in ohms) is equal to the voltage divided by the current.
   • ▪ a resistor or other circuit component which opposes the passage of an electric current.

   Word Origin late Middle English: from French résistance, from late Latin resistentia, from the verb resistere ‘hold back’ (see resist).

   Electrical resistance is the hindrance to the flow of charge through an electric circuit. The amount of resistance in a wire depends upon the material the wire is made of, the length of the wire, and the cross-sectional area of the wire.

   Ohm's law states that the electric current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance, [1] one arrives at the three mathematical equations used to describe this relationship: [2] = = = where I is the current through the conductor, V is the voltage measured across the conductor ...

   The amount of water in the tank is defined as 1 volt and the "narrowness" (resistance to flow) of the hose is defined as 1 ohm. Using Ohms Law, this gives us a flow (current) of 1 amp. Using this analogy, let's now look at the tank with the narrow hose.
