Ohm’s Law Flashcards
The relation among voltage, current, and resistance was observed by a German physicst———— , and this relationship known today as Ohm’s Law
Georg Simon Ohm
= states that the current of an obiect is
directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor.
Ohm’s Law
Current and Voltage =
Current & Voltage and Resistance =
Directly proportional
Inversely proportional
The ——— the voltage: the ——— the current.
The ——— the resistance: the ——— the current.
greater, greater
greater, lower
If the voltage increases, then either the current flowing through a material or the resistance will also be increased.
V = I x R
The resistance of a material is constant for a given temperature, which means that current and voltage must be
proportional.
R = V/I
For a low-resistance material, more current is allowed to
flow for a given voltage. For a high-resistance material, less current will flow at the same voltage.
I = V/R
