7. What is "Cable Resistance"?
Cable resistance is the electrical resistance of a cable. A length of cable will exhibit the characteristics
of a resistor.
To further assist the understanding of cable resistance, a basic definition of electrical resistance may help:
"Electrical Resistance is the property of an electric conductor by which it opposes a flow of electricity
and dissipates electrical energy away from the circuit, usually as heat. Higher resistance is provided by
a conductor that is long, small in cross section, and of a material that conducts poorly. Electrical resistance is measured in Ohms. The phenomenon of resistance arises from the interactions of electrons with ions in the conductor".
