Ohm’s Law Objective: TSW understand the concepts of Voltage, Current, and Resistance by developing and applying Ohm’s Law.
I I I R I I I I V V = Voltage = A potential difference that motivates charge to flow. The pump. (units: V = J/C) I = current = The amount of charge that flows per unit time. (units: C/s = Amps A) R = Resistance = A property of the material that resists the flow of current. (units: Ohms Ω = V/A)
V and R R V and Let’s learn how these three quantities are related by imaging different Voltages with a constant Resistance. Predict the current with a large voltage and a small resistance: I Predict the current with a small voltage and a large resistance: I
V =I V and R R R V = I V and R I = Let’s come up with an equation for the current (I) that related to the Voltage (V) and Resistance (R): A large voltage (V) with a small resistance (R) results in a large current (I). I A small voltage (V) with a large resistance (R) results in a small current (I). I V R
V I R I R This equation can be rearranged to form Ohm’s Law: Here are some graphs that represent the relationship:
When we talk about electricity we often refer to the quantity power. Power is the rate at which energy is used. Units: (J/s =Watt) Let’s define power as it relates to an electrical circuit. The power is large when a large voltage (V) is used to produce a large current flow (I). Check out the units:
The power equation can be combined with Ohm’s Law to give several variations in order calculate the power.
Example 1: A 60W/120V light bulb is connected to a 120V power supply. What is the resistance of the light bulb and the current flowing in the circuit? The same 60W/120V light bulb is connected to a 240V power supply. What will be different from the calculations above? Since resistance is a property of the light bulb it will be the same as above, but the current and power of the bulb will be greater.
Resistance of a wire R = Resistance (ohms Ω) ρ = resistivity (Ωm) depends of the material the wire is made from. A = cross sectional area (m2) A L
