Résistance de mesures. Pour des études de montages en laboratoire ou pour l'enseignement de l'électricité ou de l'électronique, on construit des résistances bobinées de grande précision et variant peu avec la fréquence. Elles sont montées dans des boîtes de résistances; à l'aide de commutateurs à plots, on fait varier leur valeur d'unité en unité ou par multiples décimaux de l'ohm. 3, record 2, French, - bo%C3%AEte%20de%20r%C3%A9sistance
