Study Notes

  • URI

Ohm's Law

  • Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, at a constant temperature.
  • The greater the voltage, the greater the current flow at consistent resistance.
  • Metallic conductors S ~ U

Light Bulbs

  • The greater the voltage, the greater the current, the brighter the light.

Resistance Law

  • Formula symbol for resistance is R.
  • Electrical Resistance Units are: Ω = U/A and R = U / I

Resistance

  • The electrical resistance equation is: R = p * (l / A)

Electrical Power

  • Formula symbol is P.
  • Units are AV = 1 Watt, and W = Watt
  • The formula is P = U * I
  • U denotes voltage and I denotes current.
