Write Ohm's law. Explain the 1—V characteristics for a conductor obeying Ohm's law.
Answers
At a constant temperature the potential difference between two ends of a conductor through which electric current is passing is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
V = IR
When resistance and current is 1 unit then the potential difference is 1V.
V = 1 A × 1 Ohm
V = 1V .
According to Ohm's law,
Current flowing in a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across to its ends at constant temperature & physical conditions.
So, According to the definition
V ∝ I
V/I = constant
Put the constant as “r” which indicates the resistance of the conductor.
R = V/I
V = IR
Where
I = current flowing in the conductor
V = potential difference applied across the conductor
R = resistance of the conductor
Unit of Resistance is called omega (Ω)
