rezisztenciát

Rezisztencia is a Hungarian term that translates to "resistance" in English. It is a general concept applicable in various fields, including physics, biology, and social sciences. In physics, resistance refers to the opposition to the flow of electric current in a conductor. This property is measured in ohms. Materials with high resistance are poor conductors, while those with low resistance are good conductors. The resistance of a material depends on its resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area.

In biology, resistance can refer to the ability of an organism to withstand or overcome an environmental stressor, such as a disease, pesticide, or unfavorable temperature. For example, antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a significant concern in public health, where bacteria evolve mechanisms to survive exposure to antibiotics. Similarly, herbicide resistance in weeds makes them difficult to control.

In a social or political context, rezisztencia denotes opposition to a ruling power, ideology, or policy. This can manifest in various forms, from passive non-compliance and protests to organized underground movements. Historical examples of rezisztencia often involve resistance against oppressive regimes or foreign occupation. The term emphasizes a deliberate act of defiance or opposition to an established order.
