Several additional calculations must be made to determine the estimated resistance value required at the point in time of the maximum current surge.
Changing temperatures affect both the length of the cable and the resistance value of the potentiometer.
The resistance value at any temperature is about 1/1000 the change in oxygen concentration.
The ohms scale is compressed, so resolution is better at lower resistance values.
The resistance values found by these equations are typically converted to conductance values.
The effectiveness of an insulator is indicated by its R-value, or resistance value.
The resistance values are typically of the order of 10k ohms.
This test is used to provide a quantifiable resistance value for all of a product's insulation.
Or, more importantly, it has a dependence on the ratio of the two resistance values.
The sensor wheels give direct correlation to the stick position, as opposed to potentiometers, which can change resistance values over time.
