Presentation Overview
Terms and definitions Letters and terms used in Ohm’s Law Ohm’s Law Use of the Ohm’s Law circle Applications of Ohm’s Law Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Terms and Definitions Voltage- electrical potential; an electrical pressure created by the buildup of charge; causes charged particles to move Volt- unit of voltage; Symbol= V Electromotive force- a historical term used to describe voltage; Symbol= E (No longer relevant, the definition of force is something that causes a mass to accelerate, and voltage or EMF does not fit that definition). E is now commonly used as a symbol for electric field strength. Current- the flow or movement of electrons Ampere- unit of current; Symbol= I Resistance- opposition to current flow Ohm- unit of resistance; Symbol= Ω (Greek symbol Omega) The scientific units for voltage are joule per coulomb. The scientific units for current are coulombs per second. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Terms and Definitions (continued)
Energy- the fundamental ability to do work Joule- unit of energy; Symbol= J Electrical Power- the rate of electrical energy used in a circuit; calculated by multiplying current times voltage, or P = V • I Watt- unit of measurement for power; a watt is one joule per second (J/s); Symbol= W Ohm’s Law- a formula describing the mathematical relationship between voltage, current, and resistance; one of the most commonly used equations in all of science Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Terms and Definitions (cont)
Directly proportional- having a constant ratio; a situation where one variable moves in the same direction as another variable when other conditions are constant Inversely proportional- having a constant but inverse ratio; a situation where one variable moves in the opposite direction from another variable when other conditions remain constant Example- current doubles when voltage is doubled if resistance is held constant; thus, voltage and current are directly proportional Example- with a constant voltage, current decreases when resistance increases; thus, current and resistance are inversely proportional Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Review of Letters and Terms used in Ohm’s Law
I – Electrical current in amperes R – Resistance in ohms V – Represents voltage in volts A – Represents amperes Ω – Represents ohms E – Electromotive force (emf) in volts, sometimes used as an alternate symbol for voltage Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Ohm’s Law A mathematical formula typically expressed as, (Read as “current equals voltage divided by resistance.”) This formula can be rearranged in two more ways: and Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Using The Ohm’s Law Circle
Cover the value you want to solve for The remaining two terms give the equation Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Three Forms of Ohm’s Law
1. Calculating circuit resistance Example: R = V / I 2. Calculating circuit amperage Example: I = V / R 3. Calculating circuit voltage Example: V = IR Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

One Way To Visualize Ohm’s Law
One volt is required to push one amp through one ohm resistance. E = IR Volts = Amperes x Ohms Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Common Metric Values Ohm’s Law uses results in both large and small numbers, so a review of metric prefix values is important. Prefix Symbol Fraction Exponent Decimal Giga G 1,000,000,000 Mega M 1,000,000 kilo k 1,000 - 1 centi c 0.01 milli m 0.001 micro μ nano n Common resistor values are kilo ohms (kΩ) and Mega ohms (MΩ); common currents are milli amps (mA) and micro amps (μA).

Practice Problem One You have a circuit with a source voltage of 12 V DC and a circuit resistance of 150 Ω. Solve for the unknown value using Ohm’s Law. Sometimes problems are given as a description similar to this example. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Practice Problem One You have a circuit with a source voltage of 12 V DC and a circuit resistance of 150 Ω. Solve for the unknown value using Ohm’s Law. To solve, first write down all values V = 12 v R = 150 Ω I = ? Another way electrical information is given is simply by telling the values like the summary will show on a later slide.

Practice Problem One Cover what you are solving for V = 12 v R = 150 Ω I = ? Students should start memorizing the three forms of Ohm’s Law so eventually they will no longer need the circle. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

Practice Problem Two You have a circuit with a source voltage of 9 V DC and a circuit resistance of 360 Ω Write down all of the values V = 9 v R = 360 Ω I = ? Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.
