direnci

Direnci is a term used to denote resistance in physics and engineering, and it also appears as an inflected form of the Turkish noun direnç, meaning resistance. In scientific contexts, direnci (or direnç) refers to a property of a material or component that opposes the flow of electric current.

In electrical terms, resistance is measured in ohms (Ω) and relates voltage, current, and resistance through Ohm's law: V = I × R. Materials with high resistivity, longer length, or smaller cross-sectional area exhibit higher resistance. Temperature also affects resistance: for most conductors, resistance increases with temperature due to enhanced lattice vibrations; in some materials, such as certain semiconductors, resistance can decrease with temperature.

Practically, resistance influences power dissipation, with P = I^2 × R or P = V^2 / R, and is a central parameter in circuit design. Discrete resistors provide fixed or adjustable resistance values within electrical networks. In materials science, resistance is described by resistivity, a property intrinsic to the material, while the overall resistance depends on geometry via R = ρ × L / A for a uniform conductor.

Linguistically, direnç is Turkish for resistance; direnci is one of its inflected forms used when the word functions as an object or in possessive constructions. The term therefore appears in Turkish-language texts and in multilingual discussions of physics in Turkish contexts.
