Open in App
Solution

  1. Resistance is the obstruction posed by the conductor to the flow of electrons.
  2. The SI unit of resistance is the ohm.
  3. By Ohms law, V=IRorR=VI
  4. If,V=1VandI=1A,R=1V1A=1ohm

Hence, one ohm is the resistance offered by a conductor when the current passing through it is one ampere and the potential difference across its ends is one volt.
