Chapter 1:
Ohm’s Law: Current, Voltage and resistance

What is Ohm’s Law?

Ohm's Law is a formula used to calculate the relationship between voltage, current and
resistance in an electrical circuit.
To students of electronics, Ohm's Law (E = IR) is as fundamentally important as Einstein's
Relativity equation (E = mc²) is to physicists.
E=IxR

When spelled out, it means voltage = current x resistance, or volts = amps x ohms, or V = A x Ω.
Named for German physicist Georg Ohm (1789-1854), Ohm's Law addresses the key quantities
at work in circuits.

symbol (abbreviation)

Voltage E Volt (V) Pressure that triggers electron flow E = electromotive force (o

Current I Ampere, amp (A) Rate of electron flow I = intensity

Resistance R Ohm (Ω) Flow inhibitor Ω = Greek letter omega

If two of these values are known, technicians can reconfigure Ohm's Law to calculate the third.
