Ohm's Law is a fundamental principle in electrical engineering that describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. It states that:
V = I × R
Where:
- V is the voltage (measured in volts, V)
- I is the current (measured in amperes, A)
- R is the resistance (measured in ohms, Ω)
This means:
- Voltage (V) is directly proportional to the current (I) flowing through a conductor, and the resistance (R) of the conductor.
- If the resistance is constant, increasing the voltage will increase the current.
- If the voltage is constant, increasing the resistance will decrease the current.
In simple terms, Ohm's Law helps us understand how electrical current flows in a circuit depending on the voltage and resistance present.
