About Resistance
| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |This [[diagram]] shows [[electron]]s moving past the [[Positive Ion|positive ions]] in a [[metal]] [[lattice]]. As they move some of them collide with the [[Positive Ion|positive ions]] in the [[lattice]] which is acts as a '''resistance''' to an [[Electrical Current|electrical current]].
|}
: The higher the [[temperature]] of a [[Electrical Conductor|conductor]] the higher greater the '''resistance''' of that [[Electrical Conductor|conductor]]. This is due to the [[metal]] [[ion]]s vibrating faster at higher [[temperature]]s which makes [[electron]]s more likely to collide with the [[ion]]s as they pass through the [[Electrical Conductor|conductor]].
