Electrical Resistance\textbf{Electrical Resistance}: The electrical resistance RR of a resistive circuit element depends on its geometric structure (its length LL and cross-sectional area AA) and on the resistivity ρ\rho of the material of which it is made:

R=ρLA\begin{gather*} R=\rho \dfrac{L}{A}\tag{*} \end{gather*}
