1. Ohm’s Law explains the
relationship between voltage (V
or E), current (I) and resistance
(R)
Used by electricians, automotive
technicians, stereo installers
3. Ohm’s Law: Resistance and Resistors
In many conductors, the
resistance is independent
of the voltage; this
relationship is called
Ohm’s law. Materials that
do not follow Ohm’s law
are called non-ohmic.
Unit of resistance: the ohm, Ω.
1 Ω = 1 V/A.

5. It is the push or pressure behind
current flow through a circuit,
and is measured in (V) volts.
6. Current refers to the
quantity/volume of electrical
flow. Measured in Amps (A)

1. Assuming the resistance does not
change:
As voltage increases, current increases.
as voltage decreases, current decreases.
2. Assuming the voltage does not change:
As resistance increases, current decreases.
As resistance decreases, current increases.
