Ohm
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-008204
The SI derived unit of electrical resistance, defined as the resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces a current of one ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force. It is represented by the Greek capital letter omega (Ω). This unit is named after Georg Simon Ohm, who formulated Ohm's Law.
