ohm
ohm (symbol Ω) SI unit of electrical resistance, equal to the resistance between two points on a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt between them produces a current of one ampere.
ohm
ohm (ohm) n. the SI unit of electrical resistance, equal to the resistance between two points on a conductor when a constant potential difference of 1 volt applied between these points produces a current of 1 ampere. Symbol: Ω.
