Used in technical contexts, especially when dealing with electrical properties. The resistive components reduced the current in the circuit.
Pro Tip 2/3
Not Always Visible
Resistive properties are not always apparent; some materials may surprise you. Despite its thinness, the coating is highly resistive.
Pro Tip 3/3
Context Specific
Understanding the surrounding discussion can clarify how 'resistive' is being applied. In this case, 'resistive' refers to the thermal properties of the insulation.
