the wire increases‚ the resistance of the wire will increase. Background: Some materials have consistent resistance at the same temperature regardless of how much voltage is applied through them‚ these materials are known as ‘Ohmic’ resistors. This is because they are said to obey Ohm’s law‚ which states that if a voltmetre is used to measure the voltage (V) of an unknown resistance (R)‚ and an ammetre is used to measure the current (i) through the same unknown resistance‚ then ‘R’ would be given

Kerslake What causes antibiotic resistance? Antibiotic resistance occurs when an antibiotic is no longer effective against a particular bacteria‚ making that organism resistant to the effects of the antibiotic. Bacteria become resistant due to selective pressure. Those organisms which resist the antibiotic‚ and do not die from it ’s effects have a greater chance of survival within the host‚ therefore allowing them to reproduce and spread it ’s resistance to other bacteria. while the ones susceptible

Managing Diversity No two humans are alike. People are different not only in gender‚ culture‚ race‚ social and psychological characteristics but also in their perspectives and prejudices. Society had discriminated on these aspects for centuries. Women and minority groups were denied of their due rights. But not any more. Since 1960s‚ when federal legislation prohibited employment discrimination‚ minorities and female applicants have become the fastest-growing segment in the work force. Diversity

participation in strategic change: Resistance‚ organizational commitment and change goal achievement. Journal of Change Management‚ 4(3)‚ 193-215. doi:10.1080/1469701042000221696 The main idea of this study is to analyze the influence of participation in the strategic change process. Lines (2004) evaluated five hypotheses‚ which state‚ 1) participation in strategy processes has a positive relationship on the organization’s post change effectiveness‚ 2) resistance towards change negatively affects participation

Nonviolent Resistance: Best Way of Dealing with Oppression When we talk about the United States‚ the ideal image is freedom and equal opportunity. The founding fathers built this country based on these basic values. However‚ discrimination and prejudices are examples of complete contradiction of such traditional values. Racial discrimination against African–Americans has perpetuated for years. This discrimination started around the 1800’s‚ when African-Americans were brought to the U.S. against

Resistance can be demonstrated in all types of ways such as The Boston Massacre in a cruel and gruesome battle‚ or Rosa Parks rather peaceful incident of the bus boycott back in 1955.

An Analysis of “Nonviolent Resistance” The “Nonviolent Resistance” written by Martin Luther King Jr. shows the three ways people use to deal with oppression. The first one is acquiescence‚ which merely increases the oppressor’s contempt. The second way is violence‚ which merely creates new and more problems. And the third way is nonviolent resistance‚ which is the way to guide Negro to harmonic race relations. Because nonviolent resistance reconciles the acquiescence and violence‚ it makes
