Nope, it's actually ohms with a lower case oh, at least in the US.
According to the metric standard promoted by NIST and most of the world, proper names are not capitalized, with one exception. The exception is Celsius, but only because the correct unit is "degree Celsius" not "Celsius". Contributing to the confusion is the standard that many symbols are capitalized even when the spelled out unit name is not. For example, W is the symbol for watt, Pa is the symbol for pascal, J is the symbol for joule, etc. If this stuff actually interests anyone the reference is: http://www.physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP811/contents.html 73, Gene W4SZ JDer8745 wrote: It's actually Ohms with a capital OH. :-) |
