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:

Applications of Ohm’s Law

Ohm’s law is very useful and has several applications. A few are listed below:

It is widely used in circuit analysis.

It is used in ammeter, multimeter, etc.

It is used to design resistors.

It is used to get the desired circuit drop in circuit design.

Advanced laws such as Kirchhoff’s Norton’s law, Thevenin’s law are based on Ohm’s law.

Electric heaters, kettles and other types of equipment working principle follow Ohm’s law.

A laptop and mobile charger using DC power supply in operation and working principle of DC power
supply depend on Ohm’s law.

Ohm’s law also has many other uses as well.
