Usage: technical; physics/electrical engineering
Examples
- The resistor behaves ohmically across a wide range of voltages.
- The material conducts electricity ohmically at room temperature.
- The circuit responds ohmically to changes in applied voltage.
- In this frequency range, the device operates ohmically rather than capacitively.
