resistance برایستگری، ایستادگی baristgari, istâdegi (#) Fr.: résistance General: The act or power of resisting, opposing, or withstanding.
Electricity: A property of a conductor by virtue of which the passage
of current is opposed, causing electric energy to be transformed into heat.
It is the quantity that determines the current that results due to a voltage
in a simple circuit. For a fixed voltage, if the resistance increases, the current
decreases. It is given by the equation R = ΔV/I, where ΔV
is the voltage difference and I the current. Resistance has the
SI units volts per ampere, called → ohm.
Etymology (EN): From → resist + -ance
a suffix used to form nouns either from adjectives in -ant or from verbs. Etymology (PE): Baristgari, from baristgar, → resistant.
Istâdegi “resistance,” state noun from istâdé “stood,” p.p. of
