This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
public institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners meet the
standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and
economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire
the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and
circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the
module:
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also
need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing them to manage their own
learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do
the tasks included in the module.

What’s In
In module 5, you have learned about precautionary actions to take when working with
electronic equipment. It is imperative to educate yourselves with the list of safety measures
while handling such devices and apparatuses. These accompanied immense dangers due
to the comprised circuit components. Thorough knowledge of electricity will save you from
huge hazards brought about by mishandling and lack of know-how in electronic
components. This module will enlighten you with one of the most essential laws in electric
circuits, Ohm's Law. To gain insight into the law, you'll need a grasp of its fundamental
concepts such as current, resistance, and voltage.
But before we begin our lesson in this Module, let’s keep you abreast of the previous
topic.
Direction: Fill in the blanks by choosing the appropriate word in the box below.
1. Always keep your ________dry.
2. Don’t use ________ to remove components.
3. Reexamine the _______ for bad connection.
4. Always check that your circuit is not _______.
5. Always ______ safety goggles.
What’s New
Are you familiar with the basic electrical quantities. Let’s check out.
Write the corresponding electrical quantities show in the figure.

Electrical Quantities
and Ohm’s Law
What is It
Sample Problem:
It takes 20 J of work to push 4 C of charge across the filament of a bulb.
Find the potential difference across the filament.
Given:
W = 20 J
Q=4C
Unknown: Potential Difference or Voltage
Formula: V = W/Q
Solution: V = 20 J / 4 C = 5 J / C or 5 V
7
Current is the measure of the quantity of charges moving through a conductor
per unit time.
Now consider the water in the tank flowing through the pipe as current.
We measure the volume of flowing water through the pipe in the time period.
The movement of water through the pipe resembles the charges flowing in the circuit
over a period of time.
I = Q/t
Where,
I = current, A (Ampere) (1 A = 1 C/s)
Q = charge, C ( Coulomb)
t = time taken to move the charge, s (second)
Sample Problem:
Calculate the current when a car battery sets in motion 80 C of charge in 5 s while
starting the engine.
Given:
Q= 80 C
t=5s
Unknown: Current I
Formula: I = Q/t
Solution: I = 80 C / 5 s =16 C / s or 16 A
8
Resistance is a quantity that measures the opposition offered by a device or a
material to the flow of electric current. There are four different factors which affect the
resistance of the conductor: type of material, its length, its cross-sectional area and the
temperature of the material.
Let us again consider the water pipe analogy.
Two water tanks, one with a narrow pipe (Tank A), and the other with a wide
pipe (Tank B).
Figure no.3. Water tank with narrow pipe Figure no.4. Water tank with wide pipe
With the same water level, greater resistance is offered by the pipe of Tank A.
Therefore, less water comes out. Tank B with the wider pipe offered less resistance,
therefore more water comes out.
In equation,
R = ρL
A
Where,
R = resistance, Ω (Ohm)
ρ = resistivity of the material, Ωm (Ohmmeter)
L = length of the wire, m (meter)
A= cross-sectional area, m2 (meter square)
9
Sample Problem:
1.What is the resistance of an aluminum wire that is 5 m long and has a cross-section area of
7 X 10-6 m2? Resistivity of the aluminum wire is 2.65 X 10-8Ωm.
Given: Solution:
L=5m R = 2.65X10-8 Ωm (5m)
A = 7 X 10-6 m2 7 X 10-6 m2
Unknown: Resistance R = 1.89 X 10-2 Ω
Formula: R = ρ L/A
Ohm’s Law
Have you ever use your blender at home to make a fruit smoothie for
breakfast? Probably you put the switch of the blender on low, then turn to increase
the speed on high. How does the blender actually change to bring to your desired
speed with the same electrical power? The answer rests in Ohm’s Law formulated
by Georg Simon Ohm, a mathematician and physicist (1789-1854) of Erlangen,
Bavaria. Ohm defines the relationship between voltage, electric current, and
electrical resistance. Ohm’s Law states that “ the electric current move along a
conductor is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to the
resistance."
The formula can also be written in order to calculate for the voltage and resistance:
V = IR and R = V/I
10
Applying the formula...
Sample Problem 1
A table lamp has a resistance of 180Ω when lighted. How much current will flow
through it when connected across 220 V?
Given:
R = 180 Ω
V = 220 V
Unknown: Current I
From Ohm’s Law: I = V/R
Solution: I = 220 V/180 Ω= 1.2 A
Sample Problem 2
Certain resistance has 4 A current through it, when a 40 v source is applied. Find the
value of resistance.
Given:
I= 4 A
V= 40 V
Unknown: Resistance
From Ohm’s Law: R =V/I
Solution: R = 40 v/4 A = 10 Ω
