Resistances is the plural of resistance, covering its various applications.
In physics, different materials have different electrical resistances.
In medicine, bacteria develop resistances to antibiotics.
In psychology, a patient may have resistances to certain topics.
The plural often appears when comparing or cataloging: The study measured resistances across multiple wire gauges.
