Ohm's Law Flashcards
1
Q
Current and voltage
A
§ The voltage of a circuit is directly proportional to the current of a circuit
§ Increasing the voltage will increase the current, and decreasing the current will decrease the voltage
2
Q
Voltage and resistance
A
§ Voltage is directly proportional to the resistance
□ High voltage is caused by high resistance
□ Low voltage is caused by low resistance
3
Q
Current and resistance
A
§ Current is inversely proportional to the resistance
□ Higher resistance = decreased current
□ Smaller resistance = higher currents
4
Q
Equation
A
§ V = I * R
§ Voltage (V) is equal to current (I) multiplied by resistance (R )
§ I = V/R
§ R = V/I
