What is Ohm's Law?

—Ohm's Law is a fundamental principle in electronics that expresses the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit.

How do I solve problems involving Ohm's Law?

—To solve problems using Ohm's Law, identify the known quantities (voltage, current, or resistance) and use the relevant equation (V = IR, I = V/R, or R = V/I) to find the unknown quantity.

What units are used for voltage, current, and resistance?

—Voltage is measured in volts (V), current is measured in amperes (A), and resistance is measured in ohms (Ω).

What is the triangle method?

—The triangle method is a visual tool that helps you remember the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance. By covering the variable you want to find, you can easily see which equation to use.

Can Ohm's Law be applied to all circuits?

—Ohm's Law is applicable to most electrical circuits, but there are some cases where it may not be accurate, such as in circuits with changing or non-linear components.
