The Big 3 (Ohms Law)

Sc 9-Physics
Voltage
• Electric Potential
• The change in Electric
energy per unit of
charge.
Current (I)

• The amount of
electrical charges
through a circuit.
• Current is measured
using an Ammeter.
The unit is called
Ampere or Amp
Resistance
• Electrical resistance (Ohms), a
measure of the opposition to
current flow in an electrical
circuit and converts electrical
energy into other forms of
energy.
• Resistance is symbolized by
the Greek letter omega (Ω). 
• Which tube has more
resistance?
Why does
a bult
light up?
Loads in the circuit
transforms electrical
energy into heat energy
and light energy
Ohm’s Law
Ohm’s Law-Voltage (V), Current (I),
Resistance (R)
Ohm’s Law I I=V/R I

R R R=V/I

V=IR V V
R=V/I=120V/1.25A=96
