resistance Flashcards
1
Q
resistance
A
opposition to flow of DC, ohms. Can have resistance without reactance to AC too
2
Q
reactance
A
opposition to flow of AC, ohms. Can’t have reactance without resistance to DC too
3
Q
impedence
A
total resistive and reactive opposition to flow
4
Q
ohms law
A
stregth of electrical current I varies with voltage and resistance
I = V/R
5
Q
Volt
A
difference of potential that would carry 1 ampere of current against one ohm resistance
