  • ruФизическое свойство материала, которое препятствует протеканию электрического тока, измеряется в омах. Оно определяет, насколько сильно проводник сопротивляется прохождению электронов.

A physical property of a material that opposes the flow of electric current, measured in ohms. It determines how much a conductor resists the passage of electrons.

  1. Opposition to electric currentB2formal

    The measure of the opposition that a circuit or material offers to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms.

    • Copper wire has very low electric resistance, making it a good conductor.
    • The electric resistance of the material increases as it heats up.
    • Ohm's law relates voltage, current, and electric resistance.
