Adjective
magnetoresistive (comparative more magnetoresistive, superlative most magnetoresistive)
Of or pertaining to magnetoresistance; exhibiting magnetoresistance.
The first magnetoresistive effect was discovered by William Thomson (better known as Lord Kelvin) in 1851, but he was unable to lower the electrical resistance of anything by more than 5%. Source: Internet
This magnetoresistive scenario depends sensitively on the device geometry and current lines and it does not rely on magnetic materials. Source: Internet
