Ohm's Law defines the relationships between
(P) power, (E) voltage, ( I ) Current is what flows on a wire or conductor like water flowing down a river. Current flows from negative to positive on the surface of a conductor. ( E ) Voltage is the difference in electrical potential between two points in a circuit. It's the push or pressure behind current flow through a circuit. ( R ) Resistance determines how much current will
flow through a component. Resistors are
used to control voltage and current levels. A very high resistance allows a small amount of current to flow. A very low resistance allows a large amount of current to flow. ( P ) Power is the cumulative amount of current times the voltage level at any given point in space or time. |
