Ohm tested different sized wires in circuits to see what effect the resistance of the wire had on the current. Based on the amount of the output energy there was, he could prove the relationship between resistance, current, and voltage.
AnswerGeorg Simon Ohm didn't 'discover' the ohm (unit of measurement); it was named in his honour some time after his death. He is credited with coining the word 'resistance', which corresponds to the ratio of voltage to current. Remember, that in Ohm's day, there were no amperes or volts or ohms -these were all standardised after his death.

What scientist was the unit of Ohms named after?
The unit of Ohms was named after the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm, known for Ohm's Law which relates the voltage across a conductor to the current flowing through it.

A measure of resistance to electricity?
The Ohm. That, and multiples such as kilohm, megohm and milliohm, are the only units used in practice, as far as I know.

Georg Simon Ohm in a book on electricity published in 1827, and Gustav Robert Kirchoffin "Laws of Closed Electric Circuits" in 1845.
