    INTRODUCTION TO OHM'S LAW

    What is Ohm's Law ?

    In 1826 Georg Simon Ohm discovered that for metallic conductors there
    is substantially constant ratio of the potential difference between the ends of the conductor.
    Ohm's Law states that the current flowing in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the
    applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the material.

    Ohm's Law equation

    I- current
    V-voltage
    R- resistance

    Ohm's law is explained by the following statement.


    1. Current varies directly with applied voltage
    A change in the voltage applied to a circuit will cause the current flowing in the circuit to
    change. If the resistance is constant, the current change will follow the pattern of the
    voltage change. Doubling the potential difference doubles the current.

    2. Current varies inversely with resistance


    Changing the resistance in a circuit will also cause a change in current flow. if the voltage
    applied to a circuit is held constant, and the resistance in the circuit is increased. With more
    opposition to current flow in the circuit, the circuit current will decrease. On the other hand,
    if the resistance is decreased the amount of current flow in the circuit will be increased.

    3. Voltage vs. current

    The relationship between voltage


    and current can be graphically
    represented with this illustration.

    thus:
    1. the higher the voltage, the larger the current
    2.the higher the resistance the lower the current
    AC Ohms Law

    Ohms law can also be applied in AC circuits.But alternating voltage and currents are always
    changing. From zero, current and voltage builds up and reach its max peak in the positive
    value at 90 degrees and then back to zero and again to the negative peak value.
    In this regard, Its only possible to calculate instantaneous values of voltage and current
    throughout its cycle.
    For AC Ohms law can be expressed by the the same equation , where R could be replaced
    by a inductor or capacitor , where Xc or XL is the AC reactance
