Study Notes

Ohm's Law

Georg Ohm discovered the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electricity.
His work, conducted from 1825 to 1827, led to Ohm's Law.
Initially, this formula was not widely accepted by the scientific community.
Later, the value of Ohm's work became clear, and his law became fundamental.

Key Terms in Ohm's Law

Voltage (V): The force of an electrical current, measured in volts. Higher voltage indicates greater force. (e.g., Car battery > watch battery)
Current (I): The speed of electricity flow, measured in amperes (amps).
Resistance (R): How much a path resists the flow of electricity, measured in ohms. Wider pathways have less resistance (e.g., wider water hose).

Ohm's Law Formula

The relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) is expressed as a formula:
- I = V / R
- R = V / I
- V = I × R
These formulas allow you to calculate any of the three values, given the other two.

Analogy

Wider water hose = Less resistance
Water flowing through hose = Current
Force of water exiting the hose = Voltage
