In the International System of Units, the derived unit of electrical resistance; the electrical resistance of a device across which a potential difference of one volt causes a current of one ampere.

Example Sentences

As the test light voltage touches terminal "C7", the module should switch, causing the ohmmeter to "overrange" if the meter is in the 1000-2000 ohms position.

If the volt, ampere and ohm were taken as the absolute units, the practical units would be the ampere, begohm and begavolt, names just as convenient as ampere, coulomb and farad.
