Definition that contains electrical resistance
- ohm a unit of electrical resistance equal to the resistance between two points on a conductor when a potential difference of one volt between them produces a current of one ampere
- eureka an alloy of copper and nickel with high electrical resistance and a low temperature coefficient; used as resistance wire
- gsr a change in the electrical properties of the skin in response to stress or anxiety; can be measured either by recording the electrical resistance of the skin or by recording weak currents generated by the body
- superconductivity the disappearance of electrical resistance at very low temperatures
- nichrome an alloy of nickel and chromium with high electrical resistance and an ability to withstand high temperatures; used for resistance heating elements
- conductance a material's capacity to conduct electricity; measured as the reciprocal of electrical resistance
- galvanic skin response a change in the electrical properties of the skin in response to stress or anxiety; can be measured either by recording the electrical resistance of the skin or by recording weak currents generated by the body
- tarchanoff phenomenon a change in the electrical properties of the skin in response to stress or anxiety; can be measured either by recording the electrical resistance of the skin or by recording weak currents generated by the body
- electrical skin response a change in the electrical properties of the skin in response to stress or anxiety; can be measured either by recording the electrical resistance of the skin or by recording weak currents generated by the body
