 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my sincere thanks to

Ms Rishika Dixit mam for her
valuable guidance and support in completing
my project.

I would also like to express my gratitude

towards our principal Dr SP SINGH sir for
giving me this great opportunity to do a project
on “Ohm’s Law”. Without their support and
suggestions, this project would not have been
completed.

History of Ohm’s Law
and its Development
Ohm's Law is named after the German physicist
Georg Simon Ohm, who first formulated it in 1827.
Ohm's groundbreaking work on the relationship
between voltage, current, and resistance marked a
significant milestone in the understanding of electrical
circuits. Here is a brief history of Ohm's Law and its
development:

Significant Experiments
or Contribution of Other
Scientist
Several scientists and researchers have made
significant contributions to the understanding of
electricity and the development of electrical
principles. While Georg Simon Ohm's work on Ohm's
Law is crucial, there are other notable experiments
and contributions by different scientists. Here are a
few:
1. Alessandro Volta (1745–1827):
• Volta invented the voltaic pile, the first
chemical battery, in 1800. This invention
provided a stable source of electric current,
paving the way for further experiments in
electricity.
2. Andre-Marie Ampere (1775–1836):
• Ampere made significant contributions to the
development of electrodynamics. The unit of
electric current, the ampere, is named after
him. Ampere's work laid the foundation for
 the understanding of the interaction between
electric currents and magnetic fields.
3. Michael Faraday (1791–1867):
• Faraday conducted groundbreaking
experiments in electromagnetic induction,
demonstrating that a changing magnetic field
could induce an electric current. His work is
the basis for the principle behind electric
generators and transformers.
4. James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879):
• Maxwell formulated a set of equations known
as Maxwell's equations, which describe the
behavior of electric and magnetic fields. His
work unified the understanding of electricity
and magnetism and paved the way for the
development of the theory of
electromagnetism.
5. Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894):
• Hertz experimentally verified the existence of
electromagnetic waves, demonstrating the
transmission of radio waves. His work
confirmed the predictions made by Maxwell's
 equations and laid the foundation for the
development of wireless communication.
6. Thomas Edison (1847–1931):
• Edison is credited with the invention of the
practical incandescent light bulb. His work
also contributed to the development of the
electrical power distribution system.
7. Nikola Tesla (1856–1943):
• Tesla made important contributions to the
development of alternating current (AC)
systems and the induction motor. His work on
AC power transmission had a significant
impact on the electrical power industry.

These scientists, among others, played key roles in

shaping our understanding of electricity and its
practical applications. Their experiments and
contributions collectively formed the basis for modern
electrical engineering and technology.
