Resistance & Ohm’s Law. E move through metals relatively easily, but it is not “frictionless” There is resistance to movement Work must be done as charges move E must have energy to start an electric potential. Experiments show: V α I

Resistance & Ohm’s Law • E move through metals relatively easily, but it is not “frictionless” • There is resistance to movement • Work must be done as charges move • E must have energy to start an electric potential
Experiments show: V α I • the constant that creates an equality = resistance, R V = I R • Ohm’s “Law” R = V / I unit: V/A = ohm, Ω
Not all materials are linear between voltage & current = nonohmic • Since it does not apply to all ≠ a law
