Ohm's Law in Electrical Circuits
Understanding the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance is pivotal for electrical calculations. Ohm's Law provides three core formulas to make these calculations easier:
Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)
Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R)
Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)
To apply Ohm's Law in an electrical circuit, follow these steps:
- Identify Known Variables: Determine which variables you know: Voltage (V), Current (I), or Resistance (R).
- Choose the Appropriate Formula: Use one of the three formulas based on what you need to find out.
- Perform the Calculation: Plug the known values into the formula to find the unknown variable.
Note: Ohm's Law is generally applicable for resistive circuits. For circuits with inductors and capacitors, additional laws and formulas may apply.
