Ohm

Definition

The ohm is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance, impedance, and reactance. It is defined as the resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere.

History/Origin

Named after German physicist Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854), who formulated Ohm's law. The ohm was officially adopted as the unit of electrical resistance in 1881 at the International Congress of Electricians.

Current Use

Widely used in electrical engineering, electronics, and physics. Essential for measuring resistance in circuits, components, and electrical systems. Standard unit in all electrical calculations and measurements.

Volt per Ampere

V/A

Definition

A derived unit of electrical resistance equal to one ohm. Represents the ratio of voltage to current, which by Ohm's law equals resistance.

History/Origin

This unit arises from the fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits (R = V/I). It provides an alternative way to express resistance using basic electrical quantities.

Current Use

Used in electrical engineering when analyzing circuit relationships and understanding the fundamental connection between voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits.
