An introduction to Resistance. We also define ohmic versus non-ohmic with graphs. We define the slope of the graph as resistance. There is also a discussion of a graph of Electric Potential Energy as a function of Position and we compare it to the... Mechanical Energies in the Spacewarp. Lastly, we derive the three equations for Electric Power. (13:36)
