Readout, Absolute The signal output of an absolute coil.<br />

Readout, Differential A signal output obtained from a differential coil<br />

Reference Coil Coil which enables bridge balancing in absolute probes. Its<br />

impedance is close to test coil impedance but does not couple to test material.<br />

Reference Sample A test sample of known characteristics used to standardize<br />

the equipment.<br />

Reluctance, Circuit The algebraic sum of the reluctances of each portion of the<br />

circuit.<br />

Resolution, Defect A property of a test system which enables the separation of<br />

signals due to defects in the test specimen that are located in close proximity to<br />

each other.<br />

Resonance. A circuit having an inductor and capacitor connected in series or<br />

parallel. When inductive reactance equals capacitive reactance the circuit is<br />

tuned or in resonance.<br />

Resistance R, ohms. The opposition to the flow of electrical current. Applies to<br />

DC and AC.<br />
