  2. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    He found for a dry pile that the relationship between the two parameters was not proportional under certain meteorological conditions. [8] [9] Ohm did his work on resistance in the years 1825 and 1826, and published his results in 1827 as the book Die galvanische Kette, mathematisch bearbeitet ("The galvanic circuit investigated mathematically ...

  3. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

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

    The more regular the lattice is, the less disturbance happens and thus the less resistance. The amount of resistance is thus mainly caused by two factors. First, it is caused by the temperature and thus amount of vibration of the crystal lattice. Higher temperatures cause bigger vibrations, which act as irregularities in the lattice.

  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. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance , [ 14 ] one arrives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship: [ 15 ] I = V R , {\displaystyle I={\frac {V}{R}},}

  6. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    Regardless of the driving force, the current density is found to be greatest at the conductor's surface, with a reduced magnitude deeper in the conductor. That decline in current density is known as the skin effect and the skin depth is a measure of the depth at which the current density falls to 1/e of its value near the surface. Over 98% of ...

  7. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    where resistance in ohms and capacitance in farads yields the time constant in seconds or the cutoff frequency in hertz (Hz). The cutoff frequency when expressed as an angular frequency ( ω c = 2 π f c ) {\displaystyle (\omega _{c}{=}2\pi f_{c})} is simply the reciprocal of the time constant.

  8. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    The amount of deflection depends on the speed of the carrier and its proximity to the ion. The more heavily a material is doped, the higher the probability that a carrier will collide with an ion in a given time, and the smaller the mean free time between collisions, and the smaller the mobility.

  9. Electrical impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance

    In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. [1]Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it.
