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 :
