Question
State Ohm's Law. Represent it mathematically.
Advertisements
Solution
According to Ohm's law, "Electric current through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to potential difference across the conductor of the circuit provided that temperature remains constant."
Mathematical expression for Ohm's Law: I ∝ V.
Or V = IR
Or I = `"V"/"R"`
Where, R = constant called resistance of a given metal.
