Resistance, Inductive.
A resistance in which self-induction is present; such as a coil of
insulated wire wound around an iron core.
Resistance, Insulation.
The resistance of the insulation of an insulated conductor. It is stated
in ohms per mile. It is determined by immersing a section of the line in
water and measuring the resistance between its conductor and the water.
The section must be of known length, and its ends must both be above the
liquid.
Resistance, Internal.
The resistance of a battery, or generator in an electric circuit as
distinguished from the resistance of the rest of the circuit, or the
external resistance.
Synonym--Essential Resistance.
Resistance, Jacobi's Unit of.
The resistance of a certain copper wire 25 feet long and weighing 345
grains.
It is equal to 0.6296 legal ohm.
Resistance, Matthiessen's Meter-gram Standard.
The resistance of a pure hard drawn copper wire of such diameter that
one meter of it weighs one gram. It is equal to .1434 Legal Ohms at 0º
C. (32º F.)
Resistance, Matthiessen's Unit of.
The resistance of a standard mile of pure annealed copper wire 1/16 inch
diameter, at a temperature of 15.5º C. (60º F.).
It is equal to 13.44 legal ohms.
