What is measured in ohms?

The measurement of resistance in electrical circuits is represented in ohms. Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance, stating that the current flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance. Therefore, when discussing electrical characteristics, the resistance that a conductor offers to the flow of current is specifically quantified in ohms.

This unit allows for the calculation and understanding of how easily electricity can pass through various materials, which is essential in designing and analyzing electric circuits and systems. Other options, such as volts, measure electrical potential, and current is measured in amperes; colors do not have a connection to electrical measurements.
