👉 The term "malus" is commonly used in physics and engineering to describe a property related to resistance. It refers to the opposition of electrical current flowing through a conductor, based on the material's conductivity or its ability to resist changes in temperature. In general, the resistance of an object can be described by the following formula: R = (1/C) where C is the capacitance and R is the resistance. The resistance of a conductor increases with its shape and size, as well as its
