What is resistance measured in?
A
(Ohms)
B
V (Volts)
C
A (Amps)
D
W (Watts)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (). Ohms are named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Ohm () is a unit of electrical resistance equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals. Ohm’s law, named after its discoverer the German physicist Georg Ohm, is one of the most important, basic laws of electricity.

Detailed explanation-3: -One ohm is defined as that resistance of an object when a current of 1 ampere flows through an object having a potential difference of 1 Volt. R=V/I. => 1ohm= 1volt/1ampere.

Detailed explanation-4: -One-ohm is equal to 1 volt / 1 ampere. The SI unit of electrical resistance i.e Ohm is named in honour of the 19th-century German physicist Georg Simon Ohm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ohm defines the unit of resistance of “1 Ohm” as the resistance between two points in a conductor where the application of 1 volt will push 1 ampere, or 6.241×10^18 electrons. This value is usually represented in schematics with the greek letter “", which is called omega, and pronounced “ohm".
