⚡ What Is Ohm’s Law?
Ohm’s Law describes the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit:
V = I × R
- Voltage (V): The electrical pressure or force that pushes electrons through a conductor (measured in volts).
- Current (I): The flow of electric charge (measured in amperes or amps).
- Resistance (R): The opposition to current flow (measured in ohms, symbol: Ω).
🧪 Simple Analogy: Water in a Pipe
Imagine electricity like water flowing through a pipe:
- Voltage is the water pressure.
- Current is how fast the water flows.
- Resistance is how narrow or clogged the pipe is.
More pressure (voltage) = more flow (current), unless the pipe is narrow (high resistance).
🧮 Rearranging the Formula
You can solve for any of the three:
- I = V ÷ R
- R = V ÷ I
🔍 Real-Life Example
Say you have a 9V battery and a resistor of 3Ω:
- I = V ÷ R = 9 ÷ 3 = 3A So, 3 amps of current will flow through the
