Study Notes
Ohm's Triangle
- A visual representation used to calculate current (I), voltage (V), and resistance (R) in electrical circuits.
Ohm's Law
- Establishes that current (I) is directly proportional to voltage (V) and inversely proportional to resistance (R).
- Essential for beginners and engineers to calculate relationships in circuits.
- Formula: ( I = \frac{V}{R} )
Electric Current
- Describes the flow of electrons through a conductor.
- Measured in Amperes (Amps); symbolized by "I."
- An increase in voltage leads to an increase in current, while an increase in resistance leads to a decrease in current.
Voltage
- Defined as the electric pressure that drives current flow.
- Measured in Volts; represented by "V" or "E."
- Higher voltage results in a greater current flow; lower voltage results in less current.
Current, Voltage, and Resistance
- The three fundamental parameters in all electronic circuits.
- Ohm's Law connects these parameters:
- Voltage (V) from batteries,
- Resistance (R) in resistors and wires,
- Current (I) resulting from the voltage.
Resistance
- Represents the opposition to current flow.
- Measured in Ohms (Ω); symbolized by "R."
- Increasing resistance in a circuit results in decreased current flow.
Characteristics of Resistance
- Good conductors (gold, copper, silver) have low resistance.
- Good insulators (porcelain, glass, plastic) have high resistance.
Applications of Ohm's Law
- Widely used in practical examples to demonstrate how changes in voltage and resistance affect current flow in various electrical components.
