Ohmic resistance, also known as electrical resistance, is a measure of the opposition of a material to the flow of electric current through it. There are different synonyms for Ohmic resistance that are commonly used in various contexts. Some of the most commonly used synonyms include electrical resistivity, impedance, conductivity, resistance, and reactance. These terms are used to describe the different types of resistance present in electrical circuits. Electrical resistivity describes the resistance of a material to the flow of electric current, while impedance refers to the total opposition of an electrical circuit to the flow of current. Conductivity refers to the ability of a material to conduct electricity, and reactance describes the opposition of an electrical circuit to the flow of alternating current.

How to use "Ohmic resistance" in context?

When a circuit is completed, the electrons in the wires will have gone about their business and the current will be flowing through the circuit. However, if there is something in between the two ends of the circuit, it will affect the current. This is called Ohmic Resistance. Ohmic resistance is caused by the electrons bumping into the material between the wires. The more material there is in between the wires, the greater the resistance.
