Portuguese term

resistência elétrica

Non-PRO Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng heat transfer
" Concepção da autoclave com sistema de aquecimento por resistências elétricas posicionada na região superior da câmara"

I really want to use electrical resistance, but I am not sure...
There is also resistor, but I think this is for electronics.

Any help appreciated ...

Discussion

resistor x resistance The physical property is the electrical resistance
The component (or element) is the resistor

@ Constantinos But we are not translating Greek here. We are looking for the correct/usual English term for the concept mentioned in the source text. And we are tyring to spell thnigs correctly too... (sometimes with little successs... me included!).
Constantinos Faridis (X) Sep 26, 2009:
why neutral!!?? ηλεκτρική αντίσταση in English is 100% electircal resistance! no other solution

electric heating element

The most usual term in this context; by convention an 'electric heating element' is any device which generates heat as a result of the passage of an electric current through a conductor (often but not always a wire spiral, enclosed in a protective casing) that has resistance, exploting the so-called I^2.R effect.

Note that a resistor is an component used in electronic devices. Resistance is the characteristic of a resistor that impedes current flow, and is measured in ohms.

oops! - exploting --> exploiting

agree Stephen Kramer : The other answers may be technically correct, but this is the term commonly used in practise.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Jennifer Levey : resistAnce // Your 3 wsebrefs all use 'resistance' in the correct sense of 'the characteristic of a conductor that impedes current flow'. The object carrying the current is, generally, a resistOR - and in the context of the question is an 'element'.
