Meaning & Definition of word "Ohm"

Ohm

ōm

1. The unit of electrical resistance in the International System of Units (SI), symbolized as 'Ω', defined as the resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt applied to those points produces a current of one ampere.
- Example: The resistor has a value of five ohms.
2. The resistance of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is maintained by a potential difference of one volt.
- Example: The circuit showed a total resistance of 10 ohms.
3. A measurement used in various fields of electrical engineering and physics to quantify resistance.
- Example: When calculating the total resistance in a series circuit, you simply add the ohms of each component.
4. A reference value for determining the performance characteristics of electronic components.
- Example: The amplifier operates efficiently at an impedance of eight ohms.
5. A unit in the study of electricity and electronics that provides insight into the functionality and capabilities of devices.
- Example: To get accurate readings, ensure your multimeter is set to measure ohms.

●Named after Georg Simon Ohm, a German physicist known for his work in electrical circuit theory.

Ohm's Law:

The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit.

Ohm's circuit:

A basic electrical circuit following Ohm's Law.

voltage:

The electric potential difference between two points.

current:

The flow of electric charge.

resistance:

The opposition to the flow of electric current.

Meaning: Generally used to refer to something that is chill or relaxed; taken from a common association with meditation and relaxation.

● Example Sentence: After a long week, I just want to find my ohm and chill.

Meaning: Can also refer to being in a state of flow or alignment.

● Example Sentence: He was totally in his ohm during the yoga session.
