Ohm's Law

19.1

"The current I through a conductor is defined as I = ΔQ/Δt. The SI unit for current is the ampere (A)." "Ohm's law states that the current in a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage across the circuit and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit: I = V/R."

What you'll learn

  1. Define electric current and calculate it from charge flow over time using I = ΔQ/Δt
  2. State Ohm's Law and use V = IR to calculate voltage, current, or resistance
  3. Explain what electrical resistance is physically and identify factors that affect it
  4. Distinguish between ohmic and non-ohmic materials
  5. Interpret V-I graphs for ohmic and non-ohmic components
