  2. Post office box (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_office_box_(electricity)

    Coils of wire are wound non-inductively, mounted in the body of the box, and have a negligible temperature coefficient. Pairs of ratio arms are each 5 10 20 ohms . Resistance arms contains a number of coils from 1 to 5000 ohms with a plug for infinite resistance.

  3. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

    In a four-terminal measurement, the current used to make the measurement is injected using a second, separate pair of leads, so the contact resistance of the measurement probes and their leads is not included in the measurement. Specific contact resistance can be obtained by multiplying by contact area. Sketch of the contact resistance ...

  4. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Also called chordal or DC resistance This corresponds to the usual definition of resistance; the voltage divided by the current R s t a t i c = V I. {\displaystyle R_{\mathrm {static} }={V \over I}.} It is the slope of the line (chord) from the origin through the point on the curve. Static resistance determines the power dissipation in an electrical component. Points on the current–voltage ...

  5. SAE J1772 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772

    SAE J1772, also known as a J plug or Type 1 connector after its international standard, IEC 62196 Type 1, is a North American standard for electrical connectors for electric vehicles maintained by SAE International under the formal title "SAE Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice J1772, SAE Electric Vehicle Conductive Charge Coupler".

  6. Ohmmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohmmeter

    An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance (the opposition offered by a circuit or component to the flow of electric current). Multimeters also function as ohmmeters when in resistance-measuring mode. An ohmmeter applies current to the circuit or component whose resistance is to be measured.

  7. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current.

  8. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    Diodes (measuring forward drop of diode junctions). Transistors (measuring current gain and other parameters in some kinds of transistors) Battery checking for simple 1.5 V and 9 V batteries. This is a current-loaded measurement, which simulates in-use battery loads; normal voltage ranges draw very little current from the battery.

  9. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

    The movable (less fixed) connector is classified as a plug (denoted P), [37] designed to attach to a wire, cable or removable electrical assembly. [38] This convention is currently defined in ASME Y14.44-2008, which supersedes IEEE 200-1975 , which in turn derives from the long-withdrawn MIL-STD-16 (from the 1950s), highlighting the heritage of ...
