Study Notes
Ohm's Law
- Ohm's law defines the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in electrical circuits with the formula: V = I × R.
- The law illustrates that current is directly proportional to voltage when resistance is constant, applicable at a constant temperature.
- Units of measurement:
- Voltage (V) is measured in volts.
- Current (I) is measured in amperes (A).
- Resistance (R) is measured in ohms (Ω).
Georg Simon Ohm
- Georg Simon Ohm discovered the law governing the interaction between voltage, current, and resistance.
- The discovery is fundamental for understanding electrical circuits and is widely used in electrical engineering.
Practical Applications
- Ohm's law is commonly applied to determine unknown values in electric circuits:
- To find voltage (V), rearrange to V = I × R.
- To find current (I), use I = V / R.
- To find resistance (R), use R = V / I.
Worked Examples
- Example calculation for voltage:
- If I = 0.5 A and R = 20 Ω, then V = 0.5 A × 20 Ω = 10 V.
- Example calculation for current:
- For a load of 500 Ω with a supply of 230 V, the current is I = 230 V / 500 Ω = 0.46 A.
Practice Questions
- Formula rearrangements can help solve for V, I, or R:
- Given I = 0.5 A and R = 100 Ω, V = 0.5 A × 100 Ω = 50 V.
- For V = 110 V and R = 550 Ω, calculate I: I = 110 V / 550 Ω = 0.2 A.
- For V = 230 V and I = 1.2 A, calculate R: R = 230 V / 1.2 A = 191.67 Ω.
- If V = 24 V and R = 10 kΩ, then I = 24 V / 10,000 Ω = 0.0024 A.
Units and Conversions
- Common prefixes:
- M (mega) = 1,000,000
- k (kilo) = 1,000
- m (micro) = 0.000001
- Important conversions:
- 1 kΩ = 1,000 Ω; 10 kΩ = 10,000 Ω;
- 1 MΩ = 1,000,000 Ω.
Experimentation
- Connecting components in electric circuits, such as voltmeters, ammeters, loads, and power supplies, can verify Ohm's law through practical demonstrations.
