SUMMARY
The resistance of a device using 3 amperes and 120 volts is calculated using Ohm's Law, specifically the formula R = V/I. Substituting the values, R = 120V / 3A results in a resistance of 40 ohms. The unit of resistance is confirmed to be ohms, which is essential for understanding electrical circuits.
