Definitions of electrical resistance
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
  • electrodermal 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
  • resistive exhibiting or relating to electrical resistance
  • fere 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
  • psychogalvanic 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
  • 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
