  2. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    The two resistors follow Ohm's law: The plot is a straight line through the origin. The other two devices do not follow Ohm's law. There are, however, components of electrical circuits which do not obey Ohm's law; that is, their relationship between current and voltage (their I–V curve) is nonlinear (or non-ohmic).

  3. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    When the resistivity of a material has a directional component, the most general definition of resistivity must be used. It starts from the tensor-vector form of Ohm's law, which relates the electric field inside a material to the electric current flow. This equation is completely general, meaning it is valid in all cases, including those ...

    A Magic Triangle image mnemonic - when the terms of Ohm's law are arranged in this configuration, covering the unknown gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. It can be adapted to similar equations e.g. F = ma, v = fλ, E = mcΔT, V = π r 2 h and τ = rF sinθ.

  5. Ohm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm

    The formula is a combination of Ohm's law and Joule's law: = = =, where P is the power, R is the resistance, V is the voltage across the resistor, and I is the current through the resistor. A linear resistor has a constant resistance value over all applied voltages or currents; many practical resistors are linear over a useful range of currents.

    Ohm's acoustic law is an empirical approximation concerning the perception of musical tones, named for Georg Simon Ohm. Okrent's law is Daniel Okrent 's take on the argument to moderation . Okun's law , in economics: when unemployment increases by 1%, the annual GDP decreases by 2%.

  8. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Ohm's law is satisfied when the graph is a straight line through the origin. Therefore, the two resistors are ohmic, but the diode and battery are not. For many materials, the current I through the material is proportional to the voltage V applied across it: over a wide range of voltages and currents. Therefore, the resistance and conductance ...

  9. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    In such conditions, Ohm's law states that the current is directly proportional to the potential difference between two ends (across) of that metal (ideal) resistor (or other ohmic device): =, where I {\displaystyle I} is the current, measured in amperes; V {\displaystyle V} is the potential difference , measured in volts ; and R {\displaystyle ...
