Better nuances are doubtless available via the Oxford English Dictionary, and in some cases of common usage they're probably almost interchangeable. But there is a real difference. I'd say resistance is more active and reluctance is more passive; i.e., in the case of resistance one is more likely to take some sort of action to register the desire not to do what's being asked; in the case of reluctance one may exhibit "symptoms" of not wanting to do what's being asked, or even express one's unwillingness verbally, but implicit in the word "reluctance" is that one is more likely to go ahead and do it anyway.

What is the Difference between reluctance and resistivity?
Resistivity is the intrinsic property of a conductor, and it is independent of the size of that conductor. Resistance is an extrinsic property that makes it dependent upon the amount of the material that there is present.
What describes resistance to movement to magnetic lines of force?
Resistance to movement of magnetic lines of force is described as reluctance. Reluctance is similar to resistance in an electric circuit and is a measure of the opposition that a magnetic circuit offers to the magnetic flux. It depends on the material and the geometry of the magnetic circuit.
What is reluctance and what is its symbol?
Reluctance is the opposition offered by a magnetic circuit to the formation of magnetic flux. The symbol for reluctance is R or Rm. Reluctance is measured in amperes per weber (A/Wb). Reluctance is equivalent to resistance in an electric circuit.
What describes resistance to movement of magnetic lines of force?
reluctance
What is the resistance of the passing of magnetic flux lines through a substance called?
The resistance of a substance to the passing of magnetic flux lines is called magnetic reluctance. It is analogous to electrical resistance in a circuit and is influenced by the material's properties and geometry. A material with high reluctance impedes the flow of magnetic flux lines, while one with low reluctance allows them to pass more easily.
What is the difference between on and off state resistance?
On Circuit Resistance = Close to the total load Resistance. Off Circuit Resistance = Near Infinitive High Resistance.
What is inverse of inductance?
reluctance, it is the resistance of a magnetic circuit to the establishment of a magnetic flux by a magnetomotive force.
What is difference between corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance?
corrosion resistance is resistant against chemicals oxidation resisstance is restant against oxigen
Why reluctance is dependet on magnetic flux?
It isn't. However, the ratio of magnetomotive force to magnetic flux will tell you what the reluctance happens to be for that particular ratio, in exactly the same way that resistance isn't dependent on current, but the ratio of voltage to current will tell us what the resistance happens to be for that particular ratio.
What is meant by Reluctance Torque?
Reluctance torque is the torque generated in a reluctance motor due to the tendency of the rotor to align itself with the stator magnetic field. It occurs as a result of the variation in reluctance in the magnetic path between the rotor and stator. This torque is responsible for the motion of the motor and is one of the main torque components in reluctance motor operation.
Why the air gap between stator and armature of electric motor is kept small?
Obviously, if there wasn't a gap, the rotor would not be able to rotate! However, the gap should be as small as possible in order to minimise the reluctance of the magnetic circuit (reluctance is equivalent to resistance), because the reluctance of air is very much larger than for silicon steel.
What does reluctively mean?
