A figure of speech is the use of a word or a phrase, which

transcends its literal interpretation. It can be a special

repetition, arrangement or omission of words with literal
meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on
the literal meaning of the words in it, as in idiom, metaphor,
simile, hyperbole, personification, or synecdoche.
List of Figures Of Speech

Personification
Personification is all about adding a human trait to an
inanimate object or an abstraction.
For example: The picture in that magazine shouted for
attention.

Simile
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unrelated
things or ideas using "like" or "as" to accentuate a certain
feature of an object by comparing it to a dissimilar object that
is a typical example of that particular trait.
For example: as big as a bus, as clear as a bell, as dry as a
bone, etc.

Analogy
An analogy is a figure of speech that equates two things to
explain something unfamiliar by highlighting its similarities to
something that is familiar. This figure of speech is commonly
used in spoken and written English.
For example: Questions and answers, crying and laughing, etc.

Metaphor
A metaphor compares two different or unrelated things to
reveal certain new qualities in the subject, which you might
have ignored or overlooked otherwise.
For example: The streets of Chennai are a furnace.

Alliteration
Alliteration is the duplication of a specific consonant sound at
the start of each word and in quick succession. Although
alliterations are all about consonant sounds, exceptions can be
made, when vowels sounds are also repeated. This figure of
speech is commonly seen in poems.
For example: "Guinness is good for you" - Tagline for
Guinness

Hyperbole
A far-fetched, over exaggerated description or sentence is
called as hyperbole and is commonly used in jokes and making
backhanded compliments.
For example: When she smiles, her cheeks fall off.


Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between
two points is directly proportional to the potential difference
across the two points. Introducing the constant of
proportionality, the resistance,
[1]
one arrives at the usual
mathematical equation that describes this relationship:
[2]


where I is the current through the conductor in units of
amperes, V is the potential difference measured across the
conductor in units of volts, and R is the resistance of the
conductor in units of ohms. More specifically, Ohm's law
states that the R in this relation is constant, independent of the
current.
[3]

The law was named after the German physicist Georg Ohm,
who, in a treatise published in 1827, described measurements
of applied voltage and current through simple electrical circuits
containing various lengths of wire. He presented a slightly
more complex equation than the one above (see History section
below) to explain his experimental results. The above equation
is the modern form of Ohm's law.
In physics, the term Ohm's law is also used to refer to various
generalizations of the law originally formulated by Ohm. The
simplest example of this is:

where J is the current density at a given location in a resistive
material, E is the electric field at that location, and is a
material dependent parameter called the conductivity. This
reformulation of Ohm's law is due to Gustav Kirchhoff.
[4]



The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is the
opposition to the passage of an electric current through that
conductor. The inverse quantity is electrical conductance, the
ease with which an electric current passes. Electrical resistance
shares some conceptual parallels with the mechanical notion of
friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm (),
while electrical conductance is measured in siemens (S).
An object of uniform cross section has a resistance
proportional to its resistivity and length and inversely
proportional to its cross-sectional area. All materials show
some resistance, except for superconductors, which have a
resistance of zero.
The resistance (R) of an object is defined as the ratio of voltage
across it (V) to current through it (I), while the conductance (G)
is the inverse:

For a wide variety of materials and conditions, V and I are
directly proportional to each other, and therefore R and G are
constant (although they can depend on other factors like
temperature or strain). This proportionality is called Ohm's
law, and materials that satisfy it are called "Ohmic" materials.
An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures
electrical resistance, the opposition to an electric current.
Micro-ohmmeters (microhmmeter or microohmmeter) make
low resistance measurements. Megohmmeters (aka
megaohmmeter or in the case of a trademarked device
Megger) measure large values of resistance. The unit of
measurement for resistance is ohms ().
