ohmic

Definitions, parts of speech, synonyms, and sentence examples for ohmic.

Editorial note

Going to DC allows scaling out to longer distances than AC, even as ohmic losses are minimized by using HV (ohmic losses are elementally the same, whether AC or DC).

Example sentences

1

Going to DC allows scaling out to longer distances than AC, even as ohmic losses are minimized by using HV (ohmic losses are elementally the same, whether AC or DC).

2

Did you not like the ones that pointed out that losses over 800km are <3%, and so your assertion that Ohmic losses are the issue is essentially wrong?

3

HV avoids ohmic losses, while low frequency reduces reactive losses up to the limits of some estimable built-out scale.

4

Ohm's Law – assumes constant resistance; inaccurate for non-ohmic materials like diodes or at high voltages where resistance varies.

5

However, it reduces current density due to increased ohmic resistance without significant gains in the reaction yield.

6

This is to minimize the ohmic losses in transmission lines from the reflected quadrature current.

7

Since real world conductors and generator windings also have ohmic resistance, the quadrature current fraction is partially dissipated as heat, and lost outright.

8

That permitted measurements, but due to the low level of doping that could be achieved, the contacts behaved like Shottky diodes, not like ohmic contacts.

9

And ohmic resistance is not that important for audio-cables anyway.

10

Those aren't the superconducting coils, they have Ohmic heating.

11

What I want is an electrical equivalent circuit, that models not only the ohmic losses but also the reactance and the output power.

12

Switching losses are less than ohmic losses.

Quote examples

1

Maybe they're using the transistor in "linear" mode and would rather have a wide and consistent ohmic region.

2

The graph shows approximately linear current above 600 mV, and the text says "When the threshold is cleared, the diode admits current that’s roughly proportional to the “excess” applied voltage, an ohmic behavior that’s a consequence of the resistance of the material itself".
