The ability of a material to slow or stop the flow of electric current

Real World Example

Imagine trying to walk through a crowded hallway during a school break. Just like the students and teachers in the hallway slow you down, electric resistance is the property of a material that slows down the flow of electric current. In this analogy, you are the electric current trying to move efficiently from one end of the hallway to the other, while the crowded people are the resistance that makes your journey slower and more difficult.
