- German physicist in a message unfinished mobile - Measure of resistance - Old heads met a little resistance - Resistance unit - Unit of electrical resistance - Unit of resistance - The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance,
being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of
one volt produces a current of one ampere. As defined by the
International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States
Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 109 units of
resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is
represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current
by a column of mercury at the temperature of melting ice 14.4521 grams
in mass, of a constant cross-sectional area, and of the length of 106.3
centimeters. As thus defined it is called the international ohm.
- Armed or violent opposition - Best feature, pièce de ... - immobility - Opposing force - Underground movement shows immunity to disease - The act of resisting; opposition, passive or active. - The quality of not yielding to force or external
pressure; that power of a body which acts in opposition to the impulse
or pressure of another, or which prevents the effect of another power;
as, the resistance of the air to a body passing through it; the
resistance of a target to projectiles.
- Electricity unit - Unit of current - Unit of electrical charge - The standard unit of quantity in electrical measurements.
It is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by the current
produced by an electro-motive force of one volt acting in a circuit
having a resistance of one ohm, or the quantity transferred by one
ampere in one second. Formerly called weber.
- 0.2390 calories - Unit of energy - A unit of work which is equal to 107 units of work in the C.
G. S. system of units (ergs), and is practically equivalent to the
energy expended in one second by an electric current of one ampere in a
resistance of one ohm. One joule is approximately equal to 0.738 foot
pounds.
