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

Due to the changes in society over the many decades containing revolutions the nature of resisting has adapted in order to cause the largest impact on the government.

Q.1 Culture as a tool to limit resistance. A shift from bureaucratic organizational practices toward post-bureaucratic‚ more flexible and less hierarchical systems of organization‚ where employees are empowered to cope with emerging changes and fluctuating demands by continuously reshaping their organizational roles and to contest the way decisions are implemented‚ has created a need for managers to move away from roles based on authoritative and rational forms of control to more culturally based

(1951) introduced the three-step change model. This social scientist views behavior as a dynamic balance of forces working in opposing directions. Driving forces facilitate change because they push employees in the desired direction. Restraining forces hinder change because they push employees in the opposite direction. Therefore‚ these forces must be analyzed and Lewin ’s three-step model can help shift the balance in the direction of the planned change. (http://www.csupomona.edu/~jvgrizzell/best_practices/bctheory
