Abstract
An introductory description of the basic ideas of constriction and contact resistance has been presented in § 1. We shall now enrich and widen the knowledge by forming the definitions on a broader basis, and it is felt that a typical example may illustrate their content without limiting the range of vision. Since thermoelectric forces are irrelevant for the concepts, we neglect them in the first instance and take them into consideration later. See § 25.
