Ohmic Resistance

Description:

Ohmic resistance refers to the resistance encountered by an electric current when flowing through a conductor, such as a wire or a circuit component, that follows Ohm's Law. It is the opposition that hinders the current flow and causes the dissipation of electrical energy in the form of heat.

Senses and Usages:

1. Electrical Sense:

In the electrical context, ohmic resistance corresponds to the impedance of a conductor or an electronic component to the flow of direct current (DC). It is measured in ohms (Ω) and signifies the degree to which a material or device resists the passage of current without any phase shift or energy storage.

Sample Sentence 1: A wire with a high ohmic resistance will limit the amount of current flowing through it.

Sample Sentence 2: The ohmic resistance of the resistor in the circuit was calculated to be 100 ohms.

2. Academic Sense:

Outside of the electrical realm, ohmic resistance can also refer to the opposition encountered in other scientific fields. This can include the frictional resistance experienced in fluid dynamics or the mechanical resistance faced in certain physical processes.

Sample Sentence 1: The researcher studied the ohmic resistance of various fluids flowing through pipes.

Sample Sentence 2: Ohmic resistance plays a crucial role in heat transfer between solid surfaces.
