Electromagnetism FAQ

What is the unit of electrical resistance?

Ohm. Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω), named after Georg Ohm.

Short Answer

Ohm is the best answer.

Electromagnetism questions become manageable once you separate source, field, potential, current, and force. Most wrong answers mix those layers together or ignore direction.

Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω), named after Georg Ohm.

Why This Answer Is Correct

This is a Easy-level question in Electromagnetism. The prompt is really testing whether you can connect the concept to its defining physical relationship instead of picking a nearby-but-wrong term.

Keep charge, field, potential, and current distinct. That single habit fixes a large fraction of electromagnetism errors.

Choices At A Glance

  • A. Volt
  • B. Ampere
  • C. Watt
  • D. Ohm

When similar options appear on an exam, eliminate the ones that break the core law, use the wrong units, or confuse a definition with a consequence.
