SI unit (symbol `OMEGA') of electrical
resistance (the property of a substance that
restricts the flow of electrons through it).
It was originally defined with reference to
the resistance of a column of mercury, but is
now taken as the resistance between two
points when a potential difference of one
volt between them produces a current of one
ampere.
