ABSTRACT

In 1826 Dr George Ohm published the results of an experiment he had carried out to discover the relationship between current voltage and resistance of an electric circuit.

He found that Voltage = Current × Resistance

Current =Voltage ÷ Resistance

and Resistance =Voltage ÷ Current V

In any series circuit a current I will flow through all parts of the circuit as a result of the potential difference supplied by the battery and shown in Fig. 2.3.
