Ohm

The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance, named after German physicist Georg Simon Ohm. Although several empirically derived standard units for expressing electrical resistance were developed in connection with early telegraphy practice, the British Association for the Advancement of Science proposed a unit derived from existing units of mass, length and time and of a convenient size for practical work as early as 1861. The definition of the ohm was revised several times. Today the definition of the ohm is expressed from the quantum Hall effect.

Definition

The ohm is defined as an electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of 1 volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of 1 ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.

\Omega = \dfrac{\mbox{V}}{\mbox{A}} = \dfrac{\mbox{1}}{\mbox{S}} = \dfrac{\mbox{W}}{\mbox{A}^2} = \dfrac{\mbox{V}^2}{\mbox{W}} = \dfrac{\mbox{s}}{\mbox{F}} = \dfrac{\mbox{J} \cdot \mbox{s}}{\mbox{C}^2} = \dfrac{\mbox{kg} \cdot \mbox{m}^2}{\mbox{s} \cdot \mbox{C}^2} = \dfrac{\mbox{J}}{\mbox{s} \cdot \mbox{A}^2}=\dfrac{\mbox{kg}\cdot\mbox{m}^2}{\mbox{s}^3 \cdot \mbox{A}^2}

in which the following units appear: volt (V), ampere (A), siemens (S), watt (W), second (s), farad (F), joule (J), kilogram (kg), metre (m), and coulomb (C).

OHM (band)

OHM (sometimes stylized Ohm: or OHM:) is an American instrumental rock/jazz fusion group fronted by former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland. The band was formed in 2002 and has released three studio albums and a live album. A similar offshoot band named OHMphrey, also fronted by Poland, was formed in 2008.

The band often perform at the Baked Potato jazz club in Studio City, California.

    Sometimes the bad guys go right on top
    Sometimes the good guys lose
    We try not to lose our hearts, not to lose our minds
    Sometimes the bad days may take their grip
    Sometimes the good days fade
    But the rain today hurts the drink to drink
    But nothing ever stays the same
    Nothings explained
    Cause this isnt the road we know
    Lose no more time
    No time
    Cause its been fun
    I heard that you called me
    From far away, far like the king Tut
    Having the force to make it right
    So I just cry
    I fell to stay good
    So been away
    Before couldnt see
    And were gone
    But nothing ever stays the same
    Nothings explained
    Lose no more time
    No time
    Cause it's been fun
    But nothing ever stays the same
    Nothings explained
    Lose no more time
    No time
    Cause it's been fun
    Cause it's been fun
    Cause it's been fun
    Cause it's been fun
    Cause it's been fun
