1.AIM:
To describe the relationship between voltage, current
and resistance in an electrical circuit.

2.INTRODUCTION:
Ohm’s law is a fundamental principle in the field of
electrical engineering that lays the groundwork for
understanding the relationship between voltage, current and
resistance in an electrical circuit.
In mathematical terms , Ohm’s law can be expressed as
I = V/R
Where:
I = Current flowing through the conductor
V = Voltage across two points
R = Resistance of the conductor

3.THEORY:
Ohm’s law states that at constant temperature and
constant mechanical strain , the amount of current passing
through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential
difference across the ends of the conductor .
4.PRINCIPLE:
Principle of Ohm's Law is a fundamental cornerstone
of electrical engineering and serves as the basis for analysing,
designing, and understanding electrical circuits and systems. It
provides a fundamental insight into how voltage, current, and
resistance interact, enabling engineers and scientists to work
with electrical components and devices effectively.

5.WORKING:

Key points to understand how Ohm's Law


works:

1.Basic Components: Ohm's Law applies to circuits with


three essential components: voltage (V), current (I), and
resistance (R). These components interact to determine how
electricity flows through a circuit.
2.Direct Proportionality: Ohm's Law states that current (I) is
directly proportional to voltage (V) when resistance (R) is
constant. If you increase the voltage while keeping the
resistance constant, the current will also increase, and vice
versa.

3.Inverse Proportionality: Ohm's Law also shows that


current (I) is inversely proportional to resistance (R) when
voltage (V) is constant. If you increase the resistance while
keeping the voltage constant, the current will decrease, and
vice versa.

6.CONSTRUCTION:
7.CONCLUSION:
Ohm's Law stands as a foundational principle that
underpins the world of electrical engineering and circuitry. Its
significance lies in the profound understanding it provides of
the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. By
comprehending Ohm's Law, engineers, scientists, and
enthusiasts alike gain the ability to decipher, design, and
manipulate electrical systems with precision and purpose.

8.APPLICATIONS
Circuit Analysis and Design: Ohm's Law is essential for
analyzing and designing electrical circuits. Engineers use it to
predict the behavior of circuits, calculate current, voltage, or
resistance values, and ensure that components interact as
intended.

Resistor Selection: When designing circuits, engineers


choose resistors based on desired current and voltage values.
Ohm's Law helps determine the appropriate resistance value
to achieve the desired results.

LED and Diode Operation: Understanding Ohm's Law is


crucial for designing circuits with light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) and other diodes. It ensures that the correct current
passes through the diode to achieve proper illumination or
functionality.
Power Distribution: Ohm's Law is used to calculate current
and voltage in power distribution systems, ensuring that the
system components can handle the generated power safely
and efficiently.

Voltage Regulation: Ohm's Law is applied in voltage


regulators to control and stabilize the output voltage of power
supplies or electronic devices.

Ohmic Heating: The principle of Ohm's Law is used in


devices that rely on ohmic heating, such as electric stoves and
toasters. Resistance generates heat when current passes
through the conductor.

Electrical Safety: Understanding the relationship between


voltage, current, and resistance is crucial for electrical safety.
Engineers and electricians use Ohm's Law to design safety
measures and ensure circuits operate within safe limits.

Electrical Testing: Ohm's Law is used in various testing


procedures to verify the integrity of electrical connections,
identify faults, and troubleshoot issues.

Communication Systems: Ohm's Law is relevant in the


design of communication systems, such as those involving
antennas and transmitters. Engineers use it to ensure that
components are operating at appropriate power levels.

Battery Management: Ohm's Law is applied in battery


management systems to monitor and regulate charging and
discharging currents, ensuring optimal battery performance
and longevity.
9.DISADVANTAGES:
Nonlinear Components: Ohm's Law is most accurate in
linear circuits, where resistance remains constant. It doesn't
hold true for components with nonlinear characteristics, such
as diodes and transistors. These components exhibit behavior
that deviates from the linear relationships described by Ohm's
Law.

Temperature Dependency: Ohm's Law assumes a constant


resistance value, but in reality, resistance can change with
temperature. Many materials experience changes in resistance
as they heat up or cool down, which can affect circuit
performance and accuracy.

Complex Circuits: In complex circuits with multiple


components and interactions, Ohm's Law's simple linear
relationships might not provide a complete understanding of
the circuit's behavior. Other laws and techniques are often
necessary to fully analyze such circuits.

High Frequencies: At high frequencies, especially in AC


(alternating current) circuits, the behavior of components can
deviate from the predictions of Ohm's Law. Capacitive and
inductive effects, as well as impedance, come into play,
complicating the analysis.

Assumption of Constant Parameters: Ohm's Law assumes


that voltage, current, and resistance remain constant, which
might not hold true in dynamic systems. Components can
change over time due to factors like aging, wear, and
environmental conditions.
Materials with Non-Linear Resistance: Some materials, like
semiconductors, exhibit nonlinear resistance characteristics,
especially at specific voltage levels. Ohm's Law doesn't
adequately describe the behavior of these materials.

Precision Limitations: Ohm's Law assumes idealized


conditions and doesn't account for factors like wire resistance,
contact resistance, and other parasitic effects that can become
significant in precision applications.

10.PRECAUTIONS:
Consistent Units: Ensure that all units are consistent when
using Ohm's Law. Voltage should be in volts (V), current in
amperes (A), and resistance in ohms (Ω). Mixing units can
lead to incorrect results.

Accurate Measurements: Use accurate measuring


instruments to obtain precise voltage and current
measurements. Inaccurate measurements can lead to faulty
calculations.

Safety Measures: When working with live circuits, follow


proper safety procedures. Use appropriate protective gear,
work in well-ventilated areas, and turn off power before
making measurements.

Use Appropriate Range: When using multimeters or other


measuring devices, select an appropriate range for voltage and
current measurements. Selecting the wrong range can damage
the device or give inaccurate readings.
Non-Ohmic Materials: Remember that Ohm's Law applies to
ohmic materials and linear circuits. For components with
nonlinear resistance, the principles of Ohm's Law may not be
directly applicable.

Double-Check Calculations: Always double-check your


calculations and ensure that the results make sense in the
context of the circuit.
