Ohm's Law

Cards (18)

  • 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)
  • The person that discovered it was George Simon Ohm
  • I and q is directly proportional
  • I and t is inversely proportional\
  • q and t is directly proportional
