What is Ohm’s Law?

Ohm’s law
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
The ohm’s law equationV = IR, where V is the
voltage across the conductor, I is the current flowing
through the conductor and R is the resistance provided
by the conductor to the flow of current.
1. Ohm's Law - Current Current is the flow 2. **Differences**: -
of electric charge, measured in Amperes - **Electromotive Force vs.
Electromotive Force (EMF)EMF is the Voltage**: EMF is the
electrical potential difference between two total energy supplied per
points in a circuit, often measured in Volts unit charge by a source
(V). - Voltage (V)Voltage is the potential (e.g., a battery), while
difference that drives the current in a voltage is the energy per
circuit, also measured in Volts (V). - unit charge available to
Resistance (R)Resistance opposes the move electrons within a
flow of current and is measured in Ohms circuit. EMF accounts for
(Ω). - **Electric Power (P)**: Electric energy losses within the
power is the rate at which work is done or source, whereas voltage
energy is transferred in an electrical circuit, considers losses in the
measured in Watts (W). entire circuit.
- **Current vs. Voltage**:
Current is the flow of
electric charge, while
voltage is the potential
that drives this flow.
Current poses more
immediate physiological
risks, such as electric
shock, while voltage
determines the severity
of these risks.
Voltage is the potential difference
between two points in an electric
field, which causes current to
flow in the circuit. Current is the
rate of flow of electrons is called
current. Voltage is the cause of
current (being an effect).
3. **Calculating Total EMF in
Series**: - To calculate the total
EMF of dry cells arranged in series,
simply add their individual EMFs
together. For example, if you have
two 1.5V dry cells in series, the total
EMF would be 1.5V + 1.5V = 3V.
• 4. **Relationship between Voltage and
Current**: - Ohm's Law states: V
(Voltage) = I (Current) * R (Resistance).
- This means that voltage is directly
proportional to current when
resistance is constant. If you increase
the voltage, the current will also
increase, and vice versa.
• 5. **Units and Formulas**: - Current (I) is measured in
Amperes (A). - Voltage (V) is measured in Volts (V). -
Resistance (R) is measured in Ohms (Ω). - Electric Power
(P) is measured in Watts (W). - Ohm's Law: V = I * R. -
Power Formula: P = V * I.
• Example: If you have a circuit with a voltage of 12V and a
resistance of 4Ω,
• you can calculate the current using Ohm's Law: I = V / R =
12V / 4Ω = 3A. The power consumed in the circuit would be:
P = V * I = 12V * 3A = 36W.
