Definitions

n.名词 noun
  1. 1
    • : the standard unit of electrical resistance in the International System of Units, formally defined to be the electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference applied between these points produces in this conductor a current of one ampere. The resistance in ohms is numerically equal to the magnitude of the potential difference. Symbol: Ω
