Complete List of Resistance Units

All available resistance units for conversion:

Electrical Resistance

Electrical resistance opposes current flow. Measured in ohms, fundamental to circuit design. Ohm law relates voltage, current, and resistance.

Resistance Fundamentals

Electrical resistance (R) in ohms (Ω). Opposition to current flow. Higher resistance = less current for given voltage.

Material Properties

Conductors: low resistance (copper: ~17 nΩ⋅m). Semiconductors: variable resistance. Insulators: very high resistance.

Temperature Effects

Metal resistance increases with temperature. Semiconductor resistance decreases with temperature. Critical for thermal design.

Common Applications

Circuit design, heating elements, current limiting, voltage division, and thermal management.

Conversion Tips

Ohm law: V = IR. Wire resistance depends on length, area, and material. Heating elements use high resistance materials.
