Viscosity is the resistance offered to the fluid molecules which opposes the flow of fluid It is the type of friction between the molecules of fluid and generally characterised by the thickness of fluid, more the thickness more the viscosity

Viscosity is the property of a fluid which opposes the relative motion between two surfaces of the fluid that are moving at different velocities.

Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Or the property of a fluid by virtue of which an internal frictional force acts between its different layers which opposes their relative motion is called viscosity.

You are Just one demo class away from feeling the physics in nature's purest form.

To tell in simple terms i must say that when a liquid (or fluid) flows its different layers resist each other's motion. This resistance (or u may say internal friction) among layers of a fluid during its motion is known as viscosity. One can think of vioscosity as analogous to resistivity in electri...

Suppose some electricity is flowing through a long straight wire without any insulating coating that gives an electric shock to a person at rest relative to the wire on touching it. Is there a speed with which if the person runs along the wire in the direction of current flowing such that he/she does not experience any shock?
It is an excellent, thought-provoking question! Suppose a person runs along the direction of electron motion with the same speed of an electron. Then for him, electrons are at rest means zero current in...
