Prayer

Jesus, I believe you brought me here

for purpose,/ not by any accident,/
not by chance. I am here because you
want me to be here/ and you want to
bless me./ You want to speak to
me./ You want to change my life./ I
receive your miracle today in Jesus'
name, Amen.
Ohm’s Law
 OBJECTIVES
• Identify the basic
principles of electricity.
• Compute voltage, current
and resistance using ohms
law.
 How this math connects to construction
jobs:

• Ohm’s Law shows the

relationship between
ohms, watts, volts
and amps.
 How this math connects to construction
jobs:

• Manipulating the
formulas to solve for an
unknown when any two
are given illustrates this
relationship.
 How this math connects to construction
jobs:

• This lesson will help you

to comprehend how
Ohm’s Law is used daily
by electricians.
 Importance

• Electricians use the

formulas to install the
correct gauge of wire to
carry the load.
 Importance

• All construction workers

must verify that their
extension cords are
adequate for the power
tools being used.
 Terms:
• ( I ) Current is what flows on a wire or
conductor like water flowing down a river.
• Current flows from points of high voltage to
points of low voltage on the surface of a
conductor.
• Current is measured in (A) amperes or amps.
 Terms:

• ( I ) Current is what
flows on a wire or
conductor like water
flowing down a river.
 Terms:
• Current flows from points of high
voltage to points of low voltage
on the surface of a conductor.
• Current is measured in (A)
amperes or amps.
 Terms:
• ( E ) Voltage is the difference in
electrical potential between two
points in a circuit. It’s the push or
pressure behind current flow
through a circuit, and is
measured in (E) volts.
 Terms:
• ( R ) Resistance determines how
much current will flow through a
component. Resistors are used to
control voltage and current levels.
 Terms:
• A very high resistance allows a
small amount of current to
flow.
• A very low resistance allows a
large amount of current to
flow. Resistance is measured in
ohms..
 Terms:

• ( P ) Power is the amount

of current times the
voltage level at a given
point measured in wattage
or watts.
 Lesson Introduction:
• Ohms law, sometimes more correctly
called Ohm’s Law, named after Mr.
Georg Ohm, mathematician and
physicist born 1789 and died 1854 in
Bavaria, defines the relationship
between power, voltage, current
and resistance.
 Lesson Introduction:
• These basic electrical units apply
to direct current, or alternating
current. Ohm’s Law is the
foundation of electronics and
electricity. These formula are
very easy to learn and are used
extensively by electricians.
 Lesson Introduction:

• Without a thorough
understanding of “Ohm’s Law”
an electrician would either
design or troubleshoot even
the simplest of electronic or
electrical circuits.
 Lesson Introduction:

• Ohm established in the late

1820’s that if a voltage was
applied to a resistance
then “current would flow
and then power would be
consumed”
Lesson Components:
 Lesson Components:
• Some practical every day examples of this basic rules
are: base board heaters, electric frying pans, toasters
and electric light bulbs. The heater consumes power
producing heat for warmth, the frying pan consumes
power producing heat for general cooking, the
toaster consumes power producing heat for cooking
toast, and the electric light bulb consumes power
producing heat and more important light. A further
example is an electric hot water system. All are
examples of Ohm’s Law at its most basic.
 Demonstration
• 9V Battery + Nichrome wire = ?
 Lesson Components:

• Current is directly proportional

to voltage.
• If voltage is increased by a
given percentage, current
increase by the same
percentage.
 Lesson Components:

• If the voltage is
decreased by a given
percentage, current
decreases by the same
percentage.
 Lesson Components:

• Current is inversely
proportional to resistance.
• An increase in resistance
results in a decrease in
current.
 Lesson Components:

• A decrease in resistance
results in an increase in
current.
• It is important to note that
resistance cannot be changed
by changing voltage or current.
 Lesson Components:
• Resistance in a circuit is a
physical constant.
• Resistance in a circuit can only be
changed by changing
components or resistors rated at
more or fewer ohms.
Ohms Law Formula

E
I R
 Ohms Law
• For voltage [E = I x R] (COVER “E” WITH HAND)
1. E (volts) = I (current) x R (resistance) OR
2. 12 volts = 2 amperes x 6 ohms

E
I R
 Ohms Law
• For current [I = E / R] (COVER “I” WITH HAND)
1. I (current) = E (volts) / R (resistance) OR
2. 2 amperes = 12 volts / 6 ohms

E
I R
 Ohms Law
• For resistance [R = E / I] (COVER “R” WITH
HAND)
1. R (resistance) = E (volts) / I (current) OR
2. 6 ohms = 12 volts / 2 amperes

E
I R
Ohm’s Law
Characteristics Symbol Unit Symbol
Voltage E Volts V
Current I Ampere A or
Amps
Resistance R Ohms Ω
Power P Watt W
 That’s all you need for Ohm’s Law -
remember just two formulas:
• For voltage:
E=IxR
• For power:
P = E2 / R
Conclusion:
• Knowing how to manipulate a
formula by isolating the unknown is
as easy as covering the symbol and
reading the remaining formula.

voltage, resistance and current
