Example types with ohms
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
The AS-61's Impedance is rated at 4 ohms. (10 words)
At 1 GHz the resistivity has increased to 0.1 ohms/inch. (12 words)
Thus a meter with a 50 microampere will have a "sensitivity" of 20,000 ohms per volt. (17 words)
The 50 / 52 ohm cables are widely used for industrial and commercial two-way radio frequency applications (including radio, and telecommunications), although 75 ohms is commonly used for broadcast television and radio. (32 words)
Such industrial grade resistors can be as large as a refrigerator; some designs can handle over 500 amperes of current, with a range of resistances extending lower than 0.04 ohms. (31 words)
Example traces These traces were produced by a time-domain reflectometer made from common lab equipment connected to approximately convert of coaxial cable having a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. (30 words)
Example sentences (16)
Example Q. An amplifier has an input impedance of 50 ohms and drives a load of 50 ohms.
The sensitivity of such a meter can be expressed as "ohms per volt", the number of ohms resistance in the meter circuit divided by the full scale measured value.
The AS-61's Impedance is rated at 4 ohms.
Again for the case of a hypothetical 1 mA, 500 ohm movement on a 1 ampere range, the shunt resistance would be just over 0.5 ohms.
At 1 GHz the resistivity has increased to 0.1 ohms/inch.
Example traces These traces were produced by a time-domain reflectometer made from common lab equipment connected to approximately convert of coaxial cable having a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms.
First, the meter needs to be zeroed by shorting the measurement points together and performing an adjustment for zero ohms indication prior to each measurement.
For example, a very low cost multimeter with a sensitivity of 1000 ohms per volt would draw 1 milliampere from a circuit at full scale deflection.
In the usual circuit found in analog multimeters, the meter deflection is inversely proportional to the resistance; so full-scale is 0 ohms, and high resistance corresponds to smaller deflections.
Since the current available depends on the state of charge of the battery, a multimeter usually has an adjustment for the ohms scale to zero it.
Such industrial grade resistors can be as large as a refrigerator; some designs can handle over 500 amperes of current, with a range of resistances extending lower than 0.04 ohms.
The 50 / 52 ohm cables are widely used for industrial and commercial two-way radio frequency applications (including radio, and telecommunications), although 75 ohms is commonly used for broadcast television and radio.
The off-hook circuitry has a low resistance (less than 300 ohms ) which causes a direct current (DC), which comes down the line (C) from the telephone exchange.
The scale of the galvanometer was marked in ohms, because the fixed voltage from the battery assured that as resistance is decreased, the current through the meter would increase.
Thus a meter with a 50 microampere will have a "sensitivity" of 20,000 ohms per volt.
Typically an analog meter will have a panel adjustment to set the zero-ohms calibration of the meter, to compensate for the varying voltage of the meter battery.
