The Cold War, refers to the war between the United States and Russia. China could also be included in the definition. The Cold War, asâ¦ noted, existed because of differing political ideologies between the two powers. Basically, it was the Western Ideals of democracy against the Eastern communists.
Every material has an electrical resistance and it is the reason that the conductor give out heat when the current passes through it. Resistance is a measure of how much an object opposes the passage of electrons. The unit of electrical resistance is the ohm and it is represented by Ï. Every material has Resistance. Copper has a low resistance and wood has a high resistance. For example, a metre of copper has a resistance of only 1 Ohm but a metre of wood has a resistance of 10000000 ohm. We need resistance to reduce the flow of electrons through a circuit, so we can build resistors to behave as Electrical resistance.
Resistance thermometers measure temperature of an. object based on changes in electrical resistance of the. sensing element. Two types of resistance thermometers are. commonly used: thermistors and resistance temperature. devices (RTD). A thermistor uses a semiconductor as the sensing. element. The electrical resistance of the semiconductor, made mostly from metallic oxides (e.g., NiO), decreases. sharply as the temperature increases.
