The SI unit of resistance is the
ohm (symbol:
Ω).
1 ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that allows a current of 1 ampere to flow when a voltage of 1 volt is applied across it. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, which states:
\[
V = I \times R
\]
Where:
- V is voltage (in volts, V),
- I is current (in amperes, A),
- R is resistance (in ohms, Ω).
