The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the unit of

  • electrical resistance in DC circuits
  • electrical resistance, reactance and impedance in AC circuits.

It is named after Georg Ohm.

An ohm is the standard measurement of the amount of resistance offered by an object to the flow of electric current. 1 volt of voltage applied across a 1 ohm resistance, will result in 1 ampere current flowing.
