Electrical Terminology: O - P
1. Ohms: A unit of electrical resistance, expressing the resistance in a circuit transmitting a current of one ampere when subjected to a potential difference of one volt. One way to think of ohms is as water flowing through a pipe, and the resistance (ohms) is the size of the pipe. More water will flow through the pipe (current) the more pressure is applied (voltage) and the bigger the pipe is (lower the resistance).
2. Outlet: An #electricaloutlet also referred to as a socket, plug, or wall plug, connects an electrical device (like a hairdryer or TV) to an electricity supply.
3. Outlet Plate or Cover: A protective covering for #lightswitches or electrical outlets, which protects the electrical hardware.
4. Parallel Short: A short occurs when one branch of a double circuit develops a short, allowing high currents to flow through the other branch.
