Resistance Activities: RESISTIVITY, re-zis-tiv'i-ti, or SP! CIFIC resistance activities, spe-sif'ik re-zis'ta: the resistance activities offered by a cubic centimeter oi substance to the passage of electricity, the curn being perpendicular to two parallel faces. Usua expressed in ohm-centimeters, it is reckoned w the metal at the freezing point of water. In 1 equation p = RA/l, p is the resistivity, R 1 resistance activities, A the cross-sectional area, and / t length. See also ELECTRICITY—3. Direct Elect, Current (resistance activities).
RESISTpRS, Electric. See ELECTRIC Ci CUITS—Circuit Elements (resistance activities, Inductan and Capacitance).
In a resistance activities movement one could find patriots, democrats of various hues, and Communists. In many cases a cohesive unitary organization was created, embracing all, or most, resistance activities groups; such, for instance, was the French National resistance activities Council (see FRANCE —32. World War II and the Postwar Period from 1940: France Defeated and Resurgent). Another example was the Burmese Anti-Fascist Front of 1944.
It was reckoned that the aid of the French resistance activities to the Allied war effort was the equivalent of eight divisions, and that the Italian resistance was the equivalent, of six divisions. Dozens of German divisions were tied up by the resistance activities in the Balkans and in German-occupied areas of Soviet Russia. The strengthening of resistance activities movements was a major concern to the Allies.
