In aircraft systems and electrical engineering, “resistance” refers to the property of a material or component that opposes the flow of electric current. Resistance is a fundamental parameter used in electrical calculations and circuit analysis. Here’s the definition and SI unit for resistance in aircraft systems:
Formula: The formula for resistance (R) in an electrical circuit is based on Ohm’s Law:
- Resistance (R) is measured in ohms (Ω).
- Voltage (V) is the electric potential difference across the component, measured in volts (V).
- Current (I) is the electric current flowing through the component, measured in amperes (A).
