The document discusses the concept of resistance in physics. It describes how resistance occurs whenever there is an obstruction to the flow of electrons in a conductor. Resistance is proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. The document also explains how resistance can be minimized by increasing the cross-sectional area and decreasing the length of the conductor to provide the path of least resistance.
