Chapter 34, Problem 12A

What is Ohm’s law?

To determine

To Explain: Ohm’s law.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The flow of charges per unit time is called current. Charges flow when there is a difference between the electric potential of the two ends of the conducting wire.

As per Ohm’s law, the current $\left(I\right)$ depends on the voltage established across the wire $\left(V\right)$ and wire’s resistance $\left(R\right)$ .

  $\begin{array}{l}I\propto V\\ I=\frac{V}{R}\end{array}$
