Title: Compare positive and negative effects of resistance in each energy system.
Course: Principles of Technology I (03153-I) > Section: UNIT 4: RESISTANCE

Comparison should include

- positive examples such as
  - brakes
  - thrust
  - heating and cooling a house
  - cooking
  - adjusting volume on an amplifier

- negative examples such as
  - drag
  - brake failure due to overheating
  - short circuits
  - processor overheating and/or failure.

Process/Skill Questions:

- When is resistance a positive effect and when is it negative?
- What are the positive effects of resistance in a mechanical system? Fluid? Electrical? Thermal?
- What are the negative effects of resistance in a mechanical system? Fluid? Electrical? Thermal?
