Pronunciation: [ˈə͡ʊəm] (IPA)

The unit of measurement for electrical resistance, ohm has few synonyms, but equivalent terms can be found in different contexts. The symbol for ohm is Ω and is named after German physicist Georg Simon Ohm. Though there are no synonyms, the unit can be referred to as electrical impedance, electric resistance, or just resistance. The reciprocal of the unit of resistance is called conductance, which is a measure of the ease of electrical charge flow through a specific conductor. Some related terms include electrical potential, voltage, and current. The term impedance is commonly used in electrical circuits to describe electrical resistance, as well as reactance (a measure of the opposition to AC current flow).
