A **1 ohm** is the unit of **electrical resistance** in a circuit, represented by the symbol **Ω** (Greek letter omega).
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current through a conductor, like a wire. When we say a component has a resistance of **1 ohm**, it means that it resists the flow of electricity in such a way that if a **1 volt** potential difference is applied across it, a **1 ampere** of current will flow through it.
In simple terms:
- **1 ohm** means that it takes **1 volt** to push **1 amp** of current through the material or component.
- The higher the resistance (more ohms), the harder it is for the current to flow.
- The lower the resistance, the easier it is for the current to flow.
Think of it like a narrow pipe: the smaller the pipe (higher resistance), the harder it is for water (current) to flow through.
