Ohm’s Law

Ohm’s Law was given by German physicist Georg Simon Ohm. It
states the relationship between current, resistance, and voltage across an
electrical circuit. This relationship between current I, voltage V, and
resistance R was given by famous German scientist Georg Simon Ohm in
1827. He found conducting his experiment that the product of the current
flowing through the conductor and the resistance of the conductor
determines the voltage drop over that conductor in the circuit.
Ohm’s law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly
proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical
conditions and temperatures remain constant, i.e. V ∝ I. Thus, it is
considered as the basic law which helps us in dealing electric circuit.
Ohm’s Law Unit
There are three physical quantities that are associated with the Ohms Law
that include,
 Current
 Voltage
 Resistance
The table added below shows the various symbol and their unit used.

Ohm’s Law Equations

Ohm’s law provides three equations which are:
 V=I×R (Voltage = Current x Resistance)
 I=V/R (Current = Voltage / Resistance)
 R=V/I (Resistance = Voltage / Current)
