What is ohms law? • Ohm’s Law explains the relationship between voltage (V or E), current (I) and resistance (R) • Used by electricians, automotive technicians, stereo installers
VOLTAGE (V) • It is the push or pressure behind current flow through a circuit, and is measured in (V) volts.
CURRENT • Current refers to the quantity/volume of electrical flow. Measured in Amps (A)
RESISTANCE • Resistance to the flow of the current. Measured in Ohms
General Rule. • 1. Assuming the resistance does not change: As voltage increases, current increases. as voltage decreases, current decreases. • 2. Assuming the voltage does not change: • As resistance increases, current decreases. • As resistance decreases, current increases.
RECAP!! • What is Voltage? • What is Current? • What is Resistance?
Part 2 • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ9Xk0Lln5Y&feature=related • Stop at 1 Min mark
V (E) = I x R • I = V R R = V I
How do calculate? • Battery voltage is 12V • Current is Amp ? • Resistance 2 Ohm
How to calculate? • Voltage is 12V • Current is 4 Amps • Resistance Ohms ?
What can we use to measure? Multi meters/ DVOM
Resistors • Why do we need resistors • To decrease the amount of voltage applied to a component • The value of the resistor is marked on the body using coloured rings

Load • What is a load • It is a any electric load on a circuit that does work. • Example: Power windows, light bulbs, motors.
Different types of circuit • Series circuit : • One pathway for current to flow. • Example: Old Christmas lights
Parallel Circuit • More then one path way for current to flow. • Used in most electrical vehicle circuits.
