Ohm
Ohm
Ohm (pronounced: /oʊm/) is a unit of electrical resistance in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm.
Etymology
The term "Ohm" is derived from the name of the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm, who first formulated Ohm's Law, which is a fundamental principle in the field of Electrical Engineering and Physics.
Definition
In the International System of Units, the definition of Ohm is the electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of one ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.

- Electromotive Force: The energy per unit charge that is converted reversibly from chemical, mechanical, or other forms of energy into electrical energy in a battery or dynamo.
- Resistance: The opposition to the passage of an electric current, causing the electrical energy to be converted into heat.
