Types of resistance
- Electrical resistanceof a substance , which is the opposition that the electric current finds to circulate. Its value is designated in ohms . On the other hand, the electronic component designed to introduce a determined electrical resistance between two points of a circuit is called a resistance or resistor .
- The resistance of an element, on the other hand, is the ability of a solid element to resist efforts and applied forces without breaking, acquiring permanent deformations or deteriorating in any way.
- The physical endurance, on the other hand, is one of the physical abilities (that which allows us to carry out work for a while longer). In this way, endurance racing is an automobile and motorcycling discipline in which the reliability of vehicles and the physical resistance of pilots are tested.
- For psychology, resistance is an opposite attitude to the therapeutic setting. Resistance behavior is oppositional behavior of one individual against another (or others), which can have a positive or negative value.
