👉 "Steep" is a technical word used in the field of electrical engineering to describe the steepness or slope of an electrical conductor. It refers to the difference between the voltage drop across and above a resistor, which can affect the current flow through the conductor. In electrical circuits, the steepness is often measured as the ratio of the voltage drop across a resistance to the voltage drop across another resistance at the same point in the circuit. This ratio is used to determine whether the circuit will be able
