    OHM’S

    LAW
    Ohm’s Law
    Ohm's law states that the current
    through a conductor between two
    points is directly proportional to the
    voltage across the two points and is
    inversely proportional to the
    resistance.

    Understanding Ohm’s Law

    Ohm’s law may be easier to


    understand with an analogy.
    Current flowing through a wire
    is like water flowing through a
    hose.
    Increasing voltage with a higher-
    volt battery increases the
    current. This is like opening the
    tap wider so more water flows
    through the hose.
    Increasing resistance reduces the
    current. This is like stepping on the
    hose so less water can flow through
    it.
    Increasing the resistance, decreases the
    flow of current…
    Ohms law,
    defines the relationship between voltage, current and
    resistance.

    These basic electrical units apply to direct current, or


    alternating current.

    Ohm’s Law is the foundation of electronics and


    electricity.

    This formula is used extensively by electricians.


    Without a thorough understanding of “Ohm’s Law” an
    electrician can not design or troubleshoot even the
    simplest of electronic or electrical circuits.

    Ohm established in the late 1820’s that if a voltage was


    applied to a resistance then “current would flow and then
    Voltage measured in volts,
    symbolized by the letters "E" or "V".

    Current measured in amps,


    symbolized by the letter "I".

    Resistance measured in ohms,


    symbolized by the letter "R".
    If you know E and I, and wish to determine R, just
    eliminate R from the picture and see what's left:
    If you know E and R, and wish to determine I, eliminate I
    and see what's left:
    if you know I and R, and wish to determine E, eliminate E
    and see what's left:
    Let's see how these equations might work to help us
    analyze simple circuits:

    If we know the values of any two of the three


    quantities (voltage, current, and resistance) in
    this circuit, we can use Ohm's Law to determine
    the third.
    calculate the amount of current (I) in a circuit, given values
    of voltage (E) and resistance (R):
    calculate the amount of resistance (R) in a circuit, given
    values of voltage (E) and current (I):
    calculate the amount of voltage supplied by a battery,
    given values of current (I) and resistance (R):
    Ohm’s Law power
    consumption through a
    resistance

    Some practical every day examples of this basic rule are: base board heaters,
    electric frying pans, toasters
    and electric light bulbs. The heater consumes power producing heat for warmth,
    the frying pan consumes
    power producing heat for general cooking, the toaster consumes power producing
    heat for cooking toast,
    and the electric light bulb consumes power producing heat and more important
    light. A further example is
    an electric hot water system. All are examples of Ohm’s Law.

    milliamp or just mA
    As a milliampere (milliamp or just mA) is 1/1000th of an
    ampere, we can convert mA to Amps by just dividing by 1000.
    Another way is to take the current in mA and move the
    decimal to the left three places to accomplish the division by
    1000.

    Here's the scoop:


    275 mA / 1000 = 0.275 Amps

    Note that the decimal in 275 is to the right of the 5, and it's
    written as 275.0 (with a 0 added to show where the decimal is).
    Moving the decimal to the left three places gets up to .275
    Amps, but we usually hang a 0 in front of the decimal.
    To convert Amps to milliAmps, just multiply by 1000 or move
    the decimal to the right three places. Just the opposite of what
    we did here to convert the other way.
