Resistor capacitance which affect the relation between voltage and current in alternating current circuits. The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon Ohm. An ohm is equivalent to a volt per ampere. Since resistors are specified and manufactured over a very large range of values, the derived units of milliohm (1 mΩ = 10 Ω), kilohm (1 kΩ = 10 Ω), and megohm (1 MΩ = 10 Ω) are also in common usage. The total resistance of resistors connected in series is the sum of their individual resistance values. The total resistance of resistors
Ampere centimetre of length between two wires one centimetre apart. The size of the unit was chosen so that the units derived from it in the MKSA system would be conveniently sized. The "international ampere" was an early realization of the ampere, defined as the current that would deposit of silver per second from a silver nitrate solution. Later, more accurate measurements revealed that this current is . Since power is defined as the product of current and voltage, the ampere can alternatively be expressed in terms of the other units using the relationship I=P/V, and thus 1 ampere equals 1
