Plural of ohm, the unit of electrical resistance named after German physicist Georg Simon Ohm.
Named after Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854), who formulated Ohm's Law describing the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. The unit was officially adopted in the 1860s as electrical science standardized its terminology.
Ohm's name lives forever in every electrical measurement, from the simplest circuit to the most complex computer - his law is so fundamental that we literally cannot discuss electricity without invoking him. It's remarkable how one man's mathematical insight in 1827 became permanently embedded in the language of technology.
