Even with a breadboard, some circuit properties may not be accurate compared to the final printed wiring board, such as parasitic resistances and capacitances.

Typically this will consist of either just a capacitor (relying on parasitic resistance and inductance in the supply) or a capacitor-inductor network.

Given the final layout, circuit extraction computes the parasitic resistances and capacitances.

In an asexual population of hosts, offspring will only have the different parasitic resistance if a mutation arises.

The drag imposed by the walls of the pipe is somewhat analogous to parasitic resistance.

Therefore was later used term "parasitic resistance" as a more general term, where it is usually still assumed that the contact resistance has a major contribution.

However, parasitic resistances exist in all circuits, due to the resistivity of the materials they are made from.

Therefore, a fraction of the power managed by the converter is dissipated by these parasitic resistances.

Shorted failures and leakage due to increase of parallel parasitic resistance are the most common failure modes of capacitors, followed by open failures.

For power schottky diodes the parasitic resistances of the buried N+ layer and the epitaxial n-type layer become important.
