  FDA/CFSAN: Kinetics of Microbial Inactivation for Alternative Food Processing Technologies -- Ohmic and Inductive ...
Ohmic heating (sometimes also referred to as Joule heating, electrical resistance heating, direct electrical resistance heating, electroheating, and electroconductive heating) is defined as a process wherein (primarily alternating) electric currents are passed through foods or other materials with the primary purpose of heating them.
Ohmic heating is distinguished from other electrical heating methods either by the presence of electrodes contacting the food (as opposed to microwave and inductive heating, where electrodes are absent), frequency (unrestricted, except for the specially assigned radio or microwave frequency range), and waveform (also unrestricted, although typically sinusoidal).
For most ohmic processes, which rely on heat, it may be unnecessary for processors to claim this effect in their process filings; however, if sufficient data is available, it may be possible for future processes to be reduced.

  Ohm's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The equation yields the proportionality constant R, which is the electrical resistance of the device.
The law is strictly true only for resistors whose resistance does not depend on the applied voltage, which are called ohmic or ideal resistors or ohmic devices.
To check whether a given device is ohmic or not, one plots V versus I and checks that the curve is a straight line or not.

 Single layer integrated metal enhancement mode field-effect transistor apparatus - Patent 6066865
Devices of this type may be less useful in the typically long term and energy limited applications of outer space for another example but may also be well suited to other applications, such as cost-influenced consumer goods operated from public utility energy sources.
Devices which omit both or one of the layers 203 and 206 are in a strict sense no longer of the heterostructure type and are in fact more in the nature of MESFET transistor devices.
Damage to the underlying semiconductor material of the ohmic contact layer is avoided by careful control of the reactive ion etch, by the somewhat rugged nature of the ohmic contact layer material and by reducing the reactive ion pressure to limit the etch rate achieved.

At first glance, ohmic heating seems straight forward, but for efficient implementation in the food industry, many factors have to be carefully considered and accurately quantified.
In ohmic heating, the energy is introduced by the electrical current, which flows at the speed of light.
To optimize the ohmic heating process and benefit from its potential advantages over conventional heating, the ohmic heater should be tailored to the specifications of the application.

The application of Indium Tin Oxide in a solid state device, for example, requires a low resistance ohmic contact to the ITO which may itself be an ohmic contact or a Schottky contact.
Ohmic contacts are defined as a metal-semiconductor contact with a linear or near linear current voltage characteristic; these have been discussed in greater detail in the following chapter.
It is particularly useful when metals are deposited exclusively for making ohmic contacts to ITO devices as opposed to the usual case when a number of other devices are fabricated in tandem.

 Ohm's law Summary
One electrical device in the electrical circuit is shown as a circle with + and - terminals.
Voltage is the term used to quantify the electrical force that moves charge (electrons) through wires and electrical devices, current is the rate of flow of charge, and resistance is the property of a resistor that limits current to the amount that must flow under the applied voltage.
Certain powered circuit devices, constructed as two terminal devices and tested as if they were a resistor (by applying a voltage across the two terminals while measuring the current), may exhibit actual negative resistance.
