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 ...
electrical resistance: ohm (Ω) Ricci tensor: reciprocal square meter (m −2) radiancy: meter per second: gas constant: joule per mole per kelvin (J⋅mol −1 ⋅K −1) radius vector (position) meter (m) radius or distance meter (m) surface area: square meter (m 2) entropy: joule per kelvin (J/K) action
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.
A legal ohm, a reproducible standard, was defined by the international conference of electricians at Paris in 1884 as the resistance of a mercury column of specified weight and 106 cm long; this was a compromise value between the B. A. unit (equivalent to 104.7 cm), the Siemens unit (100 cm by definition), and the CGS unit. [13]
Next three digits gives the resistance value. First two digits are the significant values; Third digit is the multiplier. Final digit gives the tolerance. If a resistor is coded: EB1041: power dissipation capacity = 1/2 watts, resistance value = 10 × 10 4 ±10% = between 9 × 10 4 ohms and 11 × 10 4 ohms.
Over time, this group created some of the earliest standards for electronics components. In 1936, the RMA adopted a preferred-number system for the resistance values of fixed-composition resistors. [9] Over time, resistor manufacturers migrated from older values to the 1936 resistance value standard. [6] [7]
As seen in the figure, the current does not increase linearly with applied voltage for a diode. One can determine a value of current (I) for a given value of applied voltage (V) from the curve, but not from Ohm's law, since the value of "resistance" is not constant as a function of applied voltage. Further, the current only increases ...
