Study Notes
Ohm's Law
Current
- Measured in amperes (A)
- Flow of electrons through a conductor
- Current (I) is directly proportional to voltage (V) and inversely proportional to resistance (R)
- Formula: I = V/R
Voltage
- Measured in volts (V)
- Potential difference between two points in a circuit
- Voltage is the driving force behind electric current
- Formula: V = I × R
Resistance
- Measured in ohms (Ω)
- Opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor
- Resistance depends on the material, length, and cross-sectional area of the conductor
- Formula: R = V/I
Power
- Measured in watts (W)
- Rate at which work is done or energy is transferred
- Power (P) is the product of voltage and current
- Formula: P = V × I
Applications
- Analyzing and designing electric circuits
- Calculating energy consumption and cost
- Understanding the behavior of electric devices and appliances
- Troubleshooting electrical issues in circuits
- Used in a wide range of fields, including electronics, electrical engineering, and physics
Ohm's Law
Current
- Measured in amperes (A), representing the flow of electrons through a conductor
- Directly proportional to voltage (V) and inversely proportional to resistance (R)
- Formula: I = V/R, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance
Voltage
- Measured in volts (V), representing the potential difference between two points in a circuit
- Drives electric current, with higher voltage resulting in greater current flow
- Formula: V = I × R, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance
Resistance
- Measured in ohms (Ω), representing opposition to electron flow through a conductor
- Depends on conductor material, length, and cross-sectional area
- Formula: R = V/I, where R is the resistance, V is the voltage, and I is the current
Power
- Measured in watts (W), representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred
- Calculated as the product of voltage and current (P = V × I)
- Higher power indicates greater energy transfer or work done
Applications
- Analyzing and designing electric circuits
- Calculating energy consumption and cost
- Understanding behavior of electric devices and appliances
- Troubleshooting electrical issues in circuits
- Used in fields such as electronics, electrical engineering, and physics
