| Resistance
|
|
The inherent characteristic of a material to inhibit the transfer of energy. In electrical conductors, electrical resistance results in the generation of heat. Electrical resistance is measured in Ohms. The heat transfer resistance properties of insulation products are quantified as the R-value. |
| Resistance brazing
|
|
Brazing process that uses heat generated by electrical resistance. |
| Resistance heating
|
|
A type of heating system that provides heat from the resistance of an electrical current flowing through a conductor. |
| Resistance soldering
|
|
Soldering process that that uses the heat generated by electrical resistance. |
| Resistance welding
|
|
Welding process that uses the heat generated by electrical resistance. |
| Resistive voltage drop
|
|
The voltage developed across a cell by the current flow through the resistance of the cell. |
| Resistor
|
|
An electrical component used to limit the flow of electricity in a circuit. |
| Resolution trust corporation (rtc)
|
|
Federal agency, which was created by Firrea to manage or liquidate insolvent savings and loan associations that, have been placed into receivership. The RTC is supervised by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. |
| Resorcinol glue
|
|
A powdered, waterproof type of adhesive. |
| Resource recovery
|
|
The process of converting municipal solid waste to energy and/or recovering materials for recycling. |
