(でんきていこう)

でんきていこう
noun
electrical resistance
1. electrical resistance
The opposition that a material or circuit presents to the flow of electric current. Measured in ohms. A fundamental concept in physics and electrical engineering.
(どう)電気抵抗(でんきていこう)(ひく)い。
Copper has low electrical resistance.
温度(おんど)()がると電気抵抗(でんきていこう)増加(ぞうか)する。
As temperature rises, electrical resistance also increases.
超伝導(ちょうでんどう)状態(じょうたい)では電気抵抗(でんきていこう)がゼロになるため、エネルギーの損失(そんしつ)なく電流(でんりゅう)(なが)すことができる。
In a superconducting state, electrical resistance becomes zero, allowing current to flow without energy loss.

A compound of 電気(でんき) (electricity) and 抵抗(ていこう) (resistance). The unit of measurement is オーム (ohm), represented by the symbol Ω. This is a standard term in physics education, appearing in middle school and high school science curricula.

Ohm's law (オームの法則(ほうそく)) states that voltage (電圧(でんあつ)) equals current (電流(でんりゅう)) times resistance (電気抵抗(でんきていこう)).
