    Introduction
    In 1816 Georg Simon Ohm found that
    current, voltage, and resistance are related
    in a specific and predictable way.
    Ohm expressed this relationship with a
    formula that is known today as Ohm's Law
    • Ohm's law describes mathematically how
    voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit
    are related.
    2
    •Ohm determined experimentally that if the voltage
    across a resistor is increased, the current through the
    resistor will also increase; and, likewise, if the voltage
    is decreased, the current will decrease.

    3
    Ohm also determined that if the voltage is
    kept constant, less resistance results in more
    current, and, also, more resistance results in
    less current.

    4
    Ohm's law states that current is directly
    proportional to voltage and inversely
    proportional to resistance.

    The Linear Relationship of Current
    and Voltage:
    In resistive circuits, current and voltage are
    linearly proportional.
    Linear means that if one of the quantities is
    increased or decreased by a certain
    percentage, the other will increase or
    decrease by the same percentage, assuming
    that the resistance is constant in value.

    For example, if the voltage across a resistor


    is tripled, the current will triple.

    Let's take a constant value of resistance, for
    example, 10.0, and calculate the current for
    several values of voltage ranging from 10 V to
    100 V in the circuit in Figure.
    The current values obtained are shown in
    Figure. The graph of the I values versus the V
    values is shown in Figure. Note that it is a
    straight line graph. This graph tells us that a
    change in voltage results in a linearly
    proportional change in current.

    The Inverse Relationship of Current and
    Resistance
    As you have seen, current varies inversely with
    resistance as expressed by Ohm's law, I = VR. When
    the resistance is reduced, the current goes up; when
    the resistance is increased, the current goes down.
    Let's take a constant value of voltage, for example,
    10 V, and calculate the current for several values of
    resistance ranging from 10 n to 100 n in the circuit
    in Figure. The values obtained are shown in Figure.
    The graph of the I values versus the R values is
    shown in Figure.
