Trivia about resistance

  • Measured in ohms, it's the R in Ohm's law, V=IR
  • AR stands for the problem of "antibiotic" this, when bacteria shrug off drugs that once would have killed them
  • It's the property of a body that opposes an electric current moving through it
  • Home insulation is rated by R-value, R standing for this to heat flow
  • It's the opposition of a material to electric current, resulting in heat or other forms of energy
  • In superconductivity this isn't futile, it's basically nonexistent in the material
  • The unit of this in electricity is named for Georg Ohm; it's also what ohm ran into when he published his ideas
  • The "air" or "wind" type of this slows down a parachute & heats up a meteoroid
