 Ohm Law definition 

Ohm law definition :

According to this law,  current is going in a circuit is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its ends provided that resistance of circuit remain constant.


Mathematically :

 It is given as

V = constant I

V = R I

V= I R


Explanation :

If we now any two values of the voltage , current or resistance quantities. We use ohm law to find third missing value. Ohm law is largely used in electronic circuits and very important law of electricity.


 To find Voltage :

when I and R are given

       V = I R


To find Current :

When V and R are given

I = V/R


To find Resistance :

When V and I are given 

R = V / I


Ohm law Triangle :

 The triangle in which three quantities of ohm law as shown is called ohm law triangle. 


Explanation

Figure show ohm law Triangle in which voltage is shown at the top , current is shown at the left and the resistance is shown at right portion.

Figures 1, 2 , 3 show three formula of ohm's law to find voltage , current and resistance.

If we keep resistance constant then I increases with increase in voltage and voice versa. If we keep voltage constant then current will increase with decrease in resistence on voice versa. 


Ohm Law Graph :

The graph between voltage and current is called graphical representation of ohm law as given below :
