Ohm’s Law Resistance
Review • Charge (Q) measured in Coulombs (C) Q= 5C • Current (I) measured in Amps (A) I = 2A • Voltage (V) measured in Volts (V) V = 20V • Power (P) measured in Watts (W) P = 1000W
Resistance • An object’s resistance is a measure of how much it will slow down the flow of electrons. • It resists the current in a wire. • Resistors are things like: Lights, appliances, you…
Resistance • For Resistance: • Variable: R Unit: Ohms (Ω) • R = 10Ω
Ohm’s Law V = IR Voltage = Current * Resistance
Example • According to Ohm’s Law, what is the current in an 8Ω speaker plugged into a 120V outlet?
