Ohms is a measure of resistance (R) in a device. It is related to voltage (V) and current (I) by the following equation:
V = IR

An ohm is the electrical resistance offered by a current-carrying element that produces a voltage drop of one volt when a current of one ampere is flowing through it. Named after .Georg Simon Ohm (March 16, 1789 - July 6, 1854) the German physicist.

Ohms is a unit that measures the amount of resistance some object has. Resistance is basically how much friction electrons will encounter as they try to move through the material.

Ohms (from the scientist Geog Ohm), are units of electrical resistance. They resist the flow of electrons in a circuit.

A unit of electrical resistance equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals. See Table at measurement.

an Ohm is a unit of resistance, which is a materials ability to resist the flow of current (Amps) through it.

consider you have a constant force ( voltage ) and you want to move som boxes on the floor ( electrones ) depending on how rough the floor is (resistance and ohms ) your speed is determined
so when R (your resistor) increases, your speed ( I , your current) decreases
=>
V=I.R
[v]=[A][Ω]=[C][Ω]/[T]
have fun ;)
