DICTIONARY OF AUTOMOTIVE TERMS - "Oh"
- OHC
- Acronym for Overhead camshaft.
- Ohm
-
- A unit of measurement used to indicate the amount of
Resistance to the flow of electricity in a given
circuit.
- Unit of measurement of electrical resistance. One ohm exists when one volt
causes a flow of one ampere.
-
Ohmic polarization
- Losses created by the resistance to the flow of ions in the electrolyte and resistance to flow of electrons through the electrode and bipolar plate materials. Because both the electrolyte and fuel cell electrodes obey Ohm's law, the ohmic losses can be expressed by the equation Ohm = iR
- Ohmmeter
- An instrument used to measure the amount of electrical Resistance in a given unit or circuit (in ohms).
- Ohm's law
- Mathematical relationship between voltage, resistance, and amount of current in an electrical circuit. It
states E=I x R; I=E/R; R=E/I
- OHV
- Acronym for Overhead valve -- Valve-in-head engine in which the valves are directly above the Piston.
- OHV engine
