Residual MagnetismThe magnetism held in an electromagnetic pole after the electrical current has been turned off. Natural magnetism in a magnet. |
Residual PressureThe pressure held in a hydraulic line after a valve has closed and is used to reduce the pressure build up time when next applied. |
ResilienceA property of material that has the ability to absorb energy from sudden loading by extension and resistance to fracture from stress loadings. |
ResinA solid or semisolid material, usually polymeric, which deposits a film and is the actual film-forming ingredient in paint. Solutions of polymers are often called resins, but the term actually applies only to the film forming solids, not to the solution. |
Resistance(1) Electrical resistance, the Ohm, is a measure of the opposition to electrical current flow in a conductor. (2) A force that acts in opposition to another. |
Resistance TestA measurement of resistance using an ohmmeter. |
ResistorElectrical device which has resistance to the passage of current. |
Resistor PackSet of dropping resistors used as part of a heater motor circuit to set different speeds. |
ResolutionThe number of pixels per square inch shown on the computer screen. The greater the resolution the better the picture. |
