What are ohms?

Answer by  thelostone (1457)

Ohms are units of electrical impedance. They are measure of the resistance between two points when 1 volt is applied to the points and produces a current of 1 ampere.

Answer by  Mario31 (136)

Ohms are the electrical resistance of a circuit. The calculation for Ohms (R) is voltage (V) divided by current or amps (I).

An ohm is a measurement of electrical resistance. Resistance in an electrical circuit reduces the amount of current that flows through the circuit.

Answer by  icanoutfishyou (1148)

Ohms are a measure of electrical resistance, or the amount of resistance a flow of current experiences traveling from one part of a circuit to another.

Answer by  atticusr5 (38)

Ohms are units of resistance used to describe how much electrical resistance exists in a substance. This unit us commonly used in electrical applications and in circuits. This is an important unit because if a wire has to many ohms, it can have a negative effect of a circuit. Likewise power lines need high ohms to carry large current.

Ohms are the measure of resistance of a electical current as it is flows to the source to the demand.
