EE2010 Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Lecture 3 Basic laws of circuit theory: Ohm's law, Kirchoff's laws.
Developed in 1827 by Georg Simon Ohm Ohm’s Law Developed in 1827 by Georg Simon Ohm Ohm’s Law explains the relationship between voltage (V or E), current (I) and resistance (R). The current (I) flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the applied voltage (V) and inversely proportional to its resistance (R) V = IR I = V/R R = V/I
