English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Magnetism and Electromagnetism
DEF

The quotient obtained when the potential gradient parallel to the direction of the current flow along its surface is divided by the current per unit width of surface.

OBS

The surface resistivity of a material is equal to the surface resistance between two electrodes forming opposite sides of a square. The size of the square is immaterial.

OBS

surface resistivity: term and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
  • Magnétisme et électromagnétisme
DEF

Quotient du gradient de potentiel en surface par le courant par unité de largeur.

OBS

[D'un matériau isolant] La résistivité superficielle est numériquement égale à la résistance superficielle entre les deux électrodes formant les côtés opposés d'un carré dont la dimension peut être quelconque.

OBS

résistivité superficielle : terme et définition normalisés par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO).

Spanish
