MCQ On Unit of Resistance

Content Curator

Resistance is denoted by the letter ‘R’. The SI unit of resistance is Ohm (Volt per Ampere). The ‘Ohm’ has been taken from the name of German physicist George Simon Ohm. Resistance is also defined as a physical property of a material in which, the material resists the flow of electricity. Resistance is a scalar quantity which is expressed using a number with units.
