Word	Definition
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.
resistancenoun	The act of resisting, or the capacity to resist.
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.
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.
electric resistancenoun	a material's opposition to the flow of electric current; measured in ohms
