Definition of Ohms Law

V=I x R
2. To calculate the Current (Amperes), round of the Current(I)
as shown below. This will be the current flowing in the circuit.

Oh
ms law states that “the current flowing through an electrical circuit
will change when a voltage is applied, but the resistance is inversely
proportional to the resistance of the conductor material”. I = V/R
3. Similarly, to find out the resistance (ohms), round of the
The formula of ohms law is represented by the equation resistance(R), you will get the resistance of the conductor.
V=IR
‘V’ is the potential drop(voltage) across the resistor.
‘I’ is the current flowing in the circuit through the resistor
‘R’ is the resistance value of resistor represented in ohms.
The above equation, I=V/R depicts the following facts.

 Current alters with the applied input voltage R = V/I


If the resistance of the conductor is kept constant, the voltage will By combining voltage, current, and resistance we can get a common
increase with an increase in current and the voltage will decrease relationship to draw the ohms law graph.
with a decrease in current. From the graph, if the current in an electrical circuit increases
 Current and resistance are inverse to each other voltage increases linearly and vice versa.
Now keep voltage in the circuit as a constant parameter, If you
change the resistance, the current will also vary.
For suppose, if the resistance is increased, the current in the circuit is To make the

The relation between voltage and current is linear. i.e. with larger quick reference.
voltage, the current will be higher and lower current for smaller
voltage.
Ohms Law Analogy
The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance can be
known by finding the third quantity from the known two values.
The two known values may be either voltage, current or resistance.
Calculation of Ohms Law
Ohm’s law can be represented in three forms. To understand
simply, ohms law circle or ohms law Triangle is used in electrical
circuits to find out the third quantity of the two other quantities.
The circle or triangle method is used for memorizing the ohms law.
Here I am using ohms law circle to find out voltage, current, and
resistance.

1. To calculate the Voltage (V), round of the voltage (V) as shown


below. The current and resistance are related.
