milliammeternounAn instrument for measuring electrical current in milliamperes.
cm2noun
electrical resistancenoun(physics) The opposition offered by an electrical conductor to the flow of a current through itself, resulting in a conversion of electrical energy into heat and radiation. The SI derived unit of resistance is the ohm (Ω). Symbol: R.
resistivitynoun(electricity) The resistance offered at a particular temperature by an electrical conductor of any given material in a cube of unit length, expressed in ohm-metres (Ωm) in the metric system of measurement.
statohmnounA unit of electrical resistance.
siemensnounIn the International System of Units, the derived unit of electrical conductance; the electric conductance in a body that has a resistance of one ohm.
ohm's lawnoun(physics) Ohm's observation that the direct current flowing in an electrical circuit consisting only of resistances is directly proportional to the voltage applied.
ohmic resistancenoun(electricity) That portion of the apparent resistance or impedance of a circuit which depends only upon the dimensions of the conductors, their temperature, and the materials of which they are composed.
voltnounIn the International System of Units, the derived unit of electrical potential and electromotive force (voltage); the potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere uses one watt of power. Symbol: V
specific resistancenoun(electricity) Resistivity.
impedancenoun(physics) A measure of the opposition to the flow of an alternating current in a circuit; the aggregation of its resistance, and inductive and capacitive reactances; the ratio of voltage to current treated as complex quantities.
abmhonoun(electricity) A unit of measurement (10⁹ mhos) in the centimeter-gram-second scale used to measure conductance
transimpedancenoun(physics) The equivalent of transresistance in an AC circuit
resistancenounThe act of resisting, or the capacity to resist.
henrynounIn the International System of Units, the derived unit of electrical inductance; the inductance induced in a circuit by a rate of change of current of one ampere per second and a resulting electromotive force of one volt. Symbol: H
wattnounIn the International System of Units, the derived unit of power; the power of a system in which one joule of energy is transferred per second. Symbol: W
electroresistancenoun(physics) the change in electrical resistance with current
abamperenounUnit of electrical current in electromagnetic and Gaussian cgs systems of units, equal to 10 amperes in SI units.
coulombnounIn the International System of Units, the derived unit of electric charge; the amount of electric charge carried by a current of 1 ampere flowing for 1 second. Symbol: C
