    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.
