What does ohm mean?
The ohm is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon Ohm. It is defined as the 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.
Example
"The multimeter measured the resistance of the wire in ohms."
