Question

What is the equivalent unit of resistance?

Answer 1

The equivalent unit of resistance is the Ohm (symbol: Ω).

One Ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that allows a current of one ampere to flow when a voltage of one volt is applied across a conductor.

In other words, if you have a 1-volt potential difference (voltage) across a component and it allows a current of 1 ampere to flow, that component has a resistance of 1 Ohm.

The formula for resistance is:
\[ R = \frac{V}{I} \]
Where:

1. R is the resistance in Ohms (Ω)
   

1. V is the voltage in Volts (V)
   

1. I is the current in Amperes (A)
