  2. Conventional electrical unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conventional_electrical_unit

    A conventional electrical unit (or conventional unit where there is no risk of ambiguity) is a unit of measurement in the field of electricity which is based on the so-called "conventional values" of the Josephson constant, the von Klitzing constant agreed by the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) in 1988, as well as Δν Cs used to define the second.

  3. Ohm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm

    One of the functions of many types of multimeters is the measurement of resistance in ohms.. The ohm is defined as an electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt (V), applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of one ampere (A), the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.

  4. International System of Electrical and Magnetic Units

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of...

    The International System of Electrical and Magnetic Units is an obsolete system of units used for measuring electrical and magnetic quantities. It was proposed as a system of practical international units (e.g., the international ampere, the international ohm, the international volt) by unanimous recommendation at the International Electrical Congress (Chicago, 1893), discussed at other ...

  5. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

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

    When the resistivity of a material has a directional component, the most general definition of resistivity must be used. It starts from the tensor-vector form of Ohm's law, which relates the electric field inside a material to the electric current flow. This equation is completely general, meaning it is valid in all cases, including those ...

  6. Peshawar Electric Supply Company - Wikipedia

    Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO). ( Urdu : مشارکتِ فراہمِ برقی پشاور ) , is a state-owned public utility under the administrative control of the Government of Pakistan, formerly a part of the Water & Power Development Authority's Power Wing and headquartered in Peshawar.

  7. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    Ohm explained his experimental results by a slightly more complex equation than the modern form above (see § History below). In physics, the term Ohm's law is also used to refer to various generalizations of the law; for example the vector form of the law used in electromagnetics and material science:

  8. Electricity billing in the UK - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_billing_in_the_UK

    MSP kWh is the amount of electricity consumed at the 'meter supply point', which is the customer's meter. GSP kWh is obtained by multiplying the MSP kWh by the Line Loss Factor (LLF, a figure > 1) to include the amount of electricity lost when it is conducted through the distribution network, from the 'grid supply point' to the customer's meter.

  9. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

    In the power systems analysis field of electrical engineering, a per-unit system is the expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base unit quantity. . Calculations are simplified because quantities expressed as per-unit do not change when they are referred from one side of a transformer to t
