Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a conductor is proportional to the current flowing through it, with resistance as the proportionality constant: V = IR. Formulated by Georg Ohm in 1827, it is the most fundamental relationship in electrical engineering. It applies to ohmic materials at constant temperature; real-world components like diodes and transistors are non-ohmic.

V = IR (voltage = current × resistance)
V
voltage / current) — voltage / current)
IR
current × resistance) — current × resistance)

Przewodnik krok po kroku

  1. 1V = IR (voltage = current × resistance)
  2. 2I = V/R (current = voltage / resistance)
  3. 3R = V/I (resistance = voltage / current)
  4. 4Power: P = VI = I²R = V²/R
  5. 5Units: V (volts), A (amperes), Ω (ohms), W (watts)

Rozwiązane przykłady

Wejście
12 V battery, 6 Ω resistor
Wynik
I = 12/6 = 2 A, P = 12 × 2 = 24 W
Wejście
230 V mains, 60 W bulb
Wynik
R = 230²/60 = 882 Ω, I = 60/230 = 0.26 A
