Gray code – Gray code Table
The Gray code is a special type of binary code that is unweighted (the digits that make up the code does not have an assigned weight).
What is Electrical Resistivity?
Electrical resistivity [ρ] (rho) is a characteristic of materials and has ohm-meter unit. Resistivity indicates how much the material opposes the flow of electric current.
