Ohm's Law
-
Formula:
- ( V = I \times R )
- V = Voltage (volts)
- I = Current (amperes)
- R = Resistance (ohms)
- ( V = I \times R )
Practical Applications
-
Series Circuits:
- Used in applications where the same current is necessary (e.g., string lights).
- Total resistance increases with additional components, reducing overall current.
-
Parallel Circuits:
- Used where all components must maintain the same voltage (e.g., household wiring).
- Total resistance decreases with additional components, allowing higher current flow.
Key Points
- In series, voltage divides among components; in parallel, it remains constant.
- In series, current remains constant; in parallel, current divides among components.
- Ohm’s Law is fundamental for calculating unknown values in both circuit types.

Pricing Strategies
- Cost-Plus Pricing sets a price based on the production cost plus a markup, ensuring cost coverage and profit.
- Value-Based Pricing sets a price based on the perceived value to the customer, emphasizing customer benefits and competitive advantage.
- Penetration Pricing uses a low initial price to gain market share, attracting customers from competitors.
- Skimming Pricing sets a high initial price for new products, which reduces over time, capturing consumer surplus from early adopters.
- Dynamic Pricing adjusts prices based on demand fluctuations, common in industries like travel and hospitality.
- Competition-Based Pricing sets prices based on competitor prices, crucial for maintaining market position.
