Study Notes
Ohm's Law
Ohm's Law is a fundamental principle in electricity that relates the voltage, current, and resistance of a conductor.
Definition
Ohm's Law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage (V) applied across it, and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor.
Mathematical Representation
Ohm's Law can be mathematically represented as:
I = V/R
Where:
- I is the current in amperes (A)
- V is the voltage in volts (V)
- R is the resistance in ohms (Ω)
Key Concepts
- Voltage: The potential difference between two points in a circuit, measured in volts (V).
- Current: The flow of electrons in a circuit, measured in amperes (A).
- Resistance: The opposition to the flow of electrons in a circuit, measured in ohms (Ω).
- Conductor: A material that allows the flow of electrons, such as copper wire.
Applications
Ohm's Law has numerous applications in:
- Electrical circuits: To calculate voltage, current, and resistance in series and parallel circuits.
- Electrical engineering: To design and analyze electrical systems, such as power distribution and transmission systems.
- Electronics: To design and analyze electronic circuits, such as amplifiers and filters.
