The unit of impedance is

The unit of impedance is Ohm, which is symbolized by the Greek letter Ω (Omega). In electrical circuits, impedance (Z) is a measure of opposition that a circuit offers to the passage of electric current when a voltage is applied. It is similar to resistance but extends to alternating currents (AC) and contains the effects of resistance as well as reactance (which accounts for capacitors and inductors).

Just like resistance, the unit of impedance is the ohm because they measure similar concepts; however, impedance also accounts for phase shifts between voltage and current, which are not considered in simple resistance. Ohm's Law is used in AC circuits as Z = V/I, where Z is impedance, V is voltage, and I is current. This relationship shows why the unit of impedance is the same as that of resistance.
