Study Notes
Ohm's Law
- Discovered by German scientist George Simon Ohm in 1828.
- States that current (I) is directly proportional to potential difference (V).
- Applicable under constant conditions of the conductor.
I-V Curve for a Conductor
- Graph of current versus potential difference is a straight line.
- Mathematically expressed as:
- ( I \propto V )
- ( V = IR )
- ( R = \frac{V}{I} )
Resistance
- R is the resistance of a conductor, a proportionality constant.
- Measured in ohms (Ω).
- Defined unit relationship: ( 1 , \Omega = \frac{1 , Volt}{1 , Ampere} ).
- A conductor with 1 Volt potential difference and 1 Ampere current has 1Ω resistance.
