Study Notes
Ohm's Law
- Ohm's law is the foundation of almost all electrical calculations and allows for the calculation of current in a cable at different voltages.
- Electricity is the movement of electrons in a conductor, creating an electric current measured in Ampere (A).
- Voltage (or potential) is the force required to make electrons flow, measured in Volt (V) and symbolized by the letter V (also referred to as U in Europe).
- Resistance is measured in Ohm (Ω) and occurs when an electrical current passes through a material.
Relationship between Voltage, Current, and Resistance
- When resistance is low, many electrons move, and the current is high.
- When resistance is higher, fewer electrons move, and the current is lower.
- When resistance is very high, no electrons move at all, and the current has stopped.
Ohm's Law Formula
- Ohm's Law states that the resistance of a conductor determines how much current runs through a material at a given voltage.
- The formula represents the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
