OHMS LAW THE RELATIONSHIP OF CURRENT, VOLTAGE AND

RESISTANCE

Ohms law describes mathematically how voltage, current and

resistance in a circuit are related.
Experimentally, if voltage across a resistor is increased, the current
through the resistor will also increase.
Voltage decreased the current decreased.
If the voltage is doubled, the current will double. If the voltage is
halved, the current will also be halved.
Ohm also determined that if the voltage is held constant, less
resistance results in more current, more resistance result in less
current.
For example, if the resistance is halved, the current doubles, resistance
doubled, the current is halved.
Ohms law state that current is directly proportional to voltage and
inversely proportional to resistance. Given the formula :
I

V
R

Where I is current in amperes (A), V is for voltage (V) and R is

resistance in ohm ().
For a constant value of R, I increased/decreased V will also
increased/decreased.
If V is constant R increased/decreased I will decreased/increased.
By manipulating the above equations, the expression for voltage and
resistance can be obtained :
