If the mains voltage is greater than the electrical resistance is getting bigger, on the contrary, if the stronger the electric current gets bigger than the electrical resistance will be greater. This equation explains Ohm&#8217;s law only when the electrical resistance (R) is constant. If the electrical resistance is not constant, then this equation does not explain Ohm&#8217;s law, but explains the resistance of a conductor.<\/span><\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times new roman, serif\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\">In the article about Ohm&#8217;s law, the relationship between the electrical conductor (R) resistance, type resistance or conductivity resistivity (\u03c1), conductor length (l), and conductor cross-section area (A) have been explained.

In other words, the electrical resistance increases when the resistance of the type and length of the conductor increases, whereas the electrical resistance decreases if the cross-sectional area of the conductor increases.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times new roman, serif\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\">If the conductor length (l) and cross-sectional area (A) are constant, the electrical resistance (R) depends solely on the resistance type (\u03c1).
