Ohm’s Law:
The current flowing through a wire is proportional to the potential difference (voltage) across it provided the temperature remains constant. Georg Ohm 1826
Curre
nt, I
/ a
mps
Potential difference / V
What does proportional mean?
Current and voltage
If you double the voltage then the current doubles.x

Plot your points on the graph.Draw a line of best fit for your graph.What does your graph look like?If you get a straight line it means that the two quantities current and voltage are proportional.
This fact was put into a law:

Electron flow and Resistance
Electricity in wires is a flow of electrons along the wire. As the electrons move along the wire they collide with the metal atoms. These collision make the atoms vibrate more…which makes the metal hotter.
Resistance is a measure of how much a material tries to stop electricity passing through it.

V=IR
We can express Ohm’s Law mathematically using the equation:
Voltage = Current x Resistance
V=IR
Voltage measured in Volts (V)
Current measured in Amps (A)
Resistance measured in Ohms ()

Formula triangles help you to rearrange formula, the triangle for the Ohm’s Law is shown below:
Whatever quantity you are trying to find cover it up and it will leave you with the calculation required.
So if you were trying to find current, I…..
