ohm
- The speaker's impedance is specified as 8 ohms for optimal performance.
- 100 ohms
- resistance of 350 ohms
- 50 ohms
So resistance is given the symbol R and it's measured in the unit ohms.

Etymology
Ohm is named after the German scientist Ohm, Georg Simon Ohm, who studied electrical resistance in wires. So an ohm measures how much something 'resists' the flow of electric current, like other units such as watt and newton that are also names of people.
