Ohms law
states that the electric current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.
Resistance is measured in
ohms
(Ω)
The
resistance
of a component can be calculated using
ohms law
, where
R
=
V/I
Current
(
I
) is the
flow
of
electrons through
a
material
Voltage
(
V
) is the
amount
of
pressure behind
the
current
Resistance (R)
opposes
the
flow
of
electric current
The formula for
ohms
law is
V=IR
Voltage
(volts) =
Current
(
amps
) x
Resistance
(
ohms
)
Resistors
are used to
limit
or
control
the
flow
of
electric current
, they can be
made
from
carbon
, metal film or
wire wound
on
ceramic insulators.
Voltage
is
measured
in
volts
(V)
Current is measured in
amps
(
A
)
Ohms law states that
voltage equals current multiplied by resistance
Increasing
the value of resistance will
decrease
the current flowing through it
Ohms are measured in
resistance
(Ω)
