What is the result obtained when measuring a circuit's resistance?

When measuring a circuit's resistance, the result obtained is indeed resistance. Resistance is defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit, and it is measured in ohms (Ω). The measurement of resistance is performed using an instrument called an ohmmeter, which applies a small voltage to the circuit and measures how much current flows in response.

This leads to the direct calculation of the resistance using Ohm's Law, which states that resistance (R) equals voltage (V) divided by current (I). Thus, the measurement itself is indicative of how much the circuit resists the flow of electricity, not the voltage, current, or power being utilized in the circuit. Each of those parameters has a different significance in electrical circuitry, but in context, when you are specifically measuring resistance, your end result will always reflect the resistance value itself.
