“The electrical resistance of an object
is a measure of its opposition to the
flow of electric current. Its reciprocal
quantity is electrical conductance,
measuring the ease with which an
electric current passes. Electrical
resistance shares some conceptual
parallels with mechanical friction.”

“Estimation (or estimating) is the process
of finding an estimate, or approximation,
which is a value that is usable for some
purpose even if input data may be
incomplete, uncertain, or unstable.”

“Reactance is similar to electric resistance in
this respect, but differs in that reactance does
not lead to dissipation of electrical energy as
heat. Instead, energy is stored in the
reactance, and a quarter-cycle later returned
to the circuit, whereas a resistance
continuously loses energy.”

Even same real goals might have

Those complex parts usually have their
