[tex]\red\implies[/tex]The SI unit of resistance is ohm
( Ω )
[tex]\red\implies[/tex] It is resistance offered by an object when 1 volt potential difference is applied across it and 1 Ampere of current passes through it.
Explanation:
The unit of the electrical resistance, measured with direct current, is the ohm (abbreviated Ω), named after the German physicist and mathematician Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854). According to ohm's law, the resistance R is the ratio of the voltage U across a conductor and the current I flowing through it: R = U / I.
