    Angela M. Garado
    This document contains sample problems and assignments for a lecture on electrical resistance. The sample problems cover topics like calculating the number of particles in a charge, determining resistance of conductors of different dimensions, measuring temperature using resistance, and relating resistivity to temperature. The assignments ask students to calculate resistance of a heating element, find equivalent resistance of resistors in parallel, and explain methods of producing voltage and types of electric current.
