Transcript of Ohms law
Ohm’s Law explains the relationship between voltage (V or E), current (I) and resistance (R)
Used by electricians, automotive technicians, stereo installers
It is the push or pressure behind current flow through a circuit, and is measured in (V) volts.
Current refers to the quantity/volume of electrical flow. Measured in Amps (A)
Resistance to the flow of the current. Measured in Ohms
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.

V (E) = I x R
I = V R
R = V I
Battery voltage is 12VCurrent is Amp ?Resistance 2 Ohm
Voltage is 12VCurrent is 4 AmpsResistance Ohms ?
Multi meters/ DVOM
Why do we need resistors
To decrease the amount of voltage applied to a component
The value of the resistor is marked on the body using coloured rings

What is a loadIt is a any electric load on a circuit that does
work.
Example: Power windows, light bulbs, motors.
Series circuit : One pathway for current to flow.Example: Old Christmas lights
More then one path way for current to flow.
Used in most electrical vehicle circuits.
