Electrical resistance shares some conceptual parallels with the mechanical notion of friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm, while electrical conductance is measured in siemens (S).

The specific resistance of live B. coli is found to be about 1000 ohms and the specific resistance of S. cerevisiae about 4,000 ohms. After death by heat the specific resistance of B. coli is ...

A complete treatment of the modern theory of electrolytes and critical handling, of the experimental data has been tried in the monograph "Elektrolyte" by H.Falkenhagen, Leipzig, S. Hirzel, 1932.

In all passive waveguide structures, the primary circuit elements resistance and conductance act like absorbers of electromagnetic wave energy. As such, their mathematical sign is, by convention, ...

The quantized values of the Hall conductance are defined by fundamental constants ... This has led to the adoption of the Quantum Hall Effect as a standard for electrical resistance calibration.
