explain how ohms law is used to define the unit of resistence

Open in App

Solution

Ohm's Law is mathematically given as
V = IR
Or
R = V / I
so,
1 ohm = 1 volt / 1 amp
so, a wire or any electrical element possesses 1 ohm of resistance if it allows 1 amp of current to pass through it by the application 1 volt of potential difference across its ends.
