What is the degree to which a substance resists flow known as?
For resistance to electrical flow, the term is specific resistance of a substance.The resistance of a fluid (gas, liquid) to flowing is called its viscosity, referred to colloquially as its thickness.
Explain the relationship between voltage current and resistance?
The ratio of voltage to current is called resistance. In hydraulic terms, you can equate voltage to the difference in pressure between two points, current with the resulting flow of fluid between those points , and resistance as the opposition to that flow.
What is the electrical resistance measured in?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electrons (i.e. electrical current) in a conducting material such as a metal wire or a pair of contacts in a switch. Every substance has a certain amount of resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms. If one volt can push 1 amp of current through a substance, it has a resistance of 1 ohm. Some materials, like copper and aluminum have fairly low resistance, and are therefore used as electrical conductors (wires). Another answer Conductor resistance means a material's opposition to the flow of current that a conductor has. Ideally, in a wire, this should be nothing, i.e. 0 ohms, but in reality all conductors have a certain amount of resistance. For example, 1000 feet of 14 AWG (the common wire size used for 15 amp branch circuits in residential wiring in North America) has about 2.5 ohms of resistance. Further answers Think of a conductor as a resistor/resistance of a certain very low value in series with whatever load it is feeding. Current flowing through the conductor(s) will result in a voltage drop and power loss, manifested as heating of the conductors. The "line loss" formula is one variation of the power formula and is P = I2 x R, which can be used for calculating the power loss in the conductors. Remember that any power line to a 120 volt device has 2 lengths of conductor going to it (hot and neutral return). Therefore the total conductor length is the length of the power cord or electrical cable times 2. To calculate the voltage drop across the conductor resistance for a given current, you have to determine the conductor's resistance and use Ohm's law. Calculating the resistance of a length of conductor can be done using tables readily available in textbooks or via a websearch, assuming copper conductors at 20 degrees Celcius. You need to know the size of the conductor (AWG size, for American wire gauge) and the length of the conductor.
A fluid resistance to flow?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called viscosity.
A fluid resistance to flow is called?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called its viscosity.
What is principle involved in tds meter?
Any fluid contains some solid in it which is dissolved in the fluid. the flow of current in the fluid is due to that dissolved solids. here the relation between electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids (TDS). so Tds meter works on the principle of electrical conductivity by measuring the electrical conductivity and relating it to the dissolved solids the TDS of any fluid can be determined.
What is the viscosity of a fluid?
resistance to fluid flow.
What aftercare advice is given after a micro current body electrical treatment?
The best thing that can be done after a micro-current body electrical treatment increase the fluid intake to help the lymphatic cleaning affect exercise also to your needs.
What is type drag force?
Air resistance and fluid resistance are types of friction in fluid dynamics.
What type is a drag force?
Air resistance and fluid resistance are types of friction in fluid dynamics.
Is air resistance fluid friction?
At sub-sonic speeds, air resistance is fluid friction. At supersonic speeds, it is not.
Is it true that condensation is the resistance of a fluid to flow?
No, resistance to flow is viscosity.
