A unit of electrical resistance equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals. See Table at measurement.
The practical meter-kilogram-second unit of electric resistance equal to the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere.
We're always trying to find interesting facts about words. We would love your input to help us find something interesting about ohm. If you know something, let us know. Please make sure you write it in your own words. If we like it we will post it.
