Example Sentences

The coils 2 and 3 are made to have high impedance, while 1 and 4 are so wound as to be non-inductive and, therefore, offer no impedance save that of their ohmic resistance.

From Cyclopedia of Telephony & Telegraphy Vol. 1 A General Reference Work on Telephony, etc. etc. by Miller, Kempster

The steady currents from the battery find ready path through these impedance coils which are of comparatively low ohmic resistance, and the current divides and passes in multiple over the circuits of the two lines.

This is greater than its ordinary ohmic resistance due to the skin effect.

From The Radio Amateur's Hand Book by Collins, A. Frederick (Archie Frederick)

It is impossible to overcome it entirely, but merely in part, for the ohmic resistance cannot be overcome.
