National Physical Laboratory of India users. This process, known as dissemination, is carried out in a number of ways. For applications requiring low levels of uncertainty, there is satellite based dissemination service, which utilizes the Indian national satellite, INSAT. Time is also disseminated through TV, radio, and special telephone services. The caesium atomic clocks maintained at NPL are linked to other such instituted all over the world through a set of global positioning satellites. The unit of electric current, ampere, is realized at NPL by measuring volt and Ohm separately. The uncertainty in measurement of ampere is ± 1 × 10. The standard of temperature
Negative resistance be defined, but the resistance is not constant; it varies with the voltage or current through the device. The resistance of such a nonlinear device can be defined in two ways, which are equal for ohmic resistances: Negative resistance, like positive resistance, is measured in ohms. Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance. It is measured in siemens (formerly "mho") which is the conductance of a resistor with a resistance of one ohm. Each type of resistance defined above has a corresponding conductance It can be seen that the conductance has the same sign as its corresponding resistance: a negative resistance
