    About Passive Resistance

    ABOUT PASSIVE RESISTANCE There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Everyone has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, everyone has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. It is morally justifiable to peacefully resist unjust laws; unjust laws do not change because a court or government decides; they change because people stand united together to make change happen. The governments of today make laws that self

  • Resistance of a Piece of Wire

    Resistance of a Piece of Wire

    Planning In this piece of coursework, I am going to investigate what affects the resistance of a piece of wire. Wire is made up of atoms. Electric current is a flow of electrons, and it is these electrons that collide with the nucleus of the atoms. Every time this happens, it causes resistance. The build up of friction is what produces the heat. There are many variables that could affect the resistance of the piece

Looking back on history, examples can be seen where both strategies worked, and there are also counterexamples for each. For the Indians, acculturation would bring a peaceful transition from Indian culture to American culture. However, if the Indians decided resistance would be effective then a more violent future would hold true. Based on the effectiveness of Cherokee acculturation and

    Resistance Basic Guide

    A basic guide to resistance. Electron Flow Model Everything is made of very small particles called atoms. Each atom has a heavy positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by a cloud of light, negatively charged, electrons. In metals, the outer most electron of each atom is weakly attracted to the positive nucleus and can escape from the atom and wander around between the atoms.
