Units b To convert amperes (A) to milliamperes (mA), move the decimal point three places to the right..012A = 12 mA.012A = 12 mA b To convert mA to A, move to the left 450mA =.45A450mA =.45A
Chapter 11- Ohms Law b The basic form of ohms law is
b Alternately this is b The current, (I) in a circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R)
Alternate forms b Three forms of Ohms law b I = V/R b V = I x R b R = V/I
To calculate current b if V = 120v, R = 15 ohms, what is the current?
Voltage b If a DC generator delivers 2.5A to a lamp that has 50ohms resistance, voltage must be?
Resistance b Suppose an electric kettle draws current of 8A when connected to 120v. What is the resistance?
Ohms Law Circle V IR
Power Formulas b Power in watts = volts x amperes P = V x IP = V x I b using ohms law we can get P = I 2 RP = I 2 R P = V 2 / RP = V 2 / R
