Sheet resistance is like a measure of how much resistance (or opposition) an object has when electricity passes through it. Resistance is like a roadblock for electricity. Sheet resistance measures how much of a roadblock there is.The unit of measurement for sheet resistance is ohms per square which means how many ohms of resistance per square inch or centimeter of the material. For example, if you have a material that has a sheet resistance of 10 ohms per square, that means that if electricity flows through one square inch or centimeter of the material, it will meet 10 ohms of resistance.
