Electricity most materials is relatively constant over a range of temperatures and currents; materials under these conditions are known as 'ohmic'. The ohm, the unit of resistance, was named in honour of Georg Ohm, and is symbolised by the Greek letter Ω. 1 Ω is the resistance that will produce a potential difference of one volt in response to a current of one amp. The capacitor is a development of the Leyden jar and is a device that can store charge, and thereby storing electrical energy in the resulting field. It consists of two conducting plates separated by a thin insulating
Ground loop (electricity) a result, if a current, formula_7, is flowing through formula_1 from circuit 1, a voltage drop formula_9, across formula_1 occurs and the ground connection of both circuits is no longer at the actual ground potential. This voltage across the ground conductor is applied to circuit 2 and added to the output: Thus the two circuits are no longer isolated from each other and circuit 1 can introduce interference into the output of circuit 2. If circuit 2 is an audio system and circuit 1 has large AC currents flowing in it, the interference may be heard as a 50 or
