Ohm's law has been observed on a wide range of length scales. In the early 20th century, it was thought that Ohm's law would fail at the atomic scale, but experiments have not borne out this expectation. As of 2012, researchers have demonstrated that Ohm's law works for silicon wires as small as four atoms wide and one atom high. [17]
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.
Electrical conductivity of water samples is used as an indicator of how salt-free, ion-free, or impurity-free the sample is; the purer the water, the lower the conductivity (the higher the resistivity). Conductivity measurements in water are often reported as specific conductance, relative to the conductivity of pure water at 25 °C.
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 ...

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.
basic physics formula triangles: Image title: Image mnemonics in the style of the Ohm's law formula triangle for high-school physics by CMG Lee. Covering the unknown in each mnemonic gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. In the SVG file, hover over a symbol for its meaning and formula. Width: 100%: Height: 100%
Ohm's law can be used to determine the DC voltage drop by multiplying current times resistance: V = I R.Also, Kirchhoff's circuit laws state that in any DC circuit, the sum of the voltage drops across each component of the circuit is equal to the supply voltage.
