Question : 11
Total: 15
(a) State Ohm's Law. Represent it mathematically.
(b) Define 1ohm.
(c) What is the resistance of a conductor through which a current of 0.5A flows when a potential difference of 2V is applied across its ends?
Solution:  
(a) According to Ohm's law, the current flowing through a given conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference along its ends provided the the temperature and physical conditions remain the same.
Mathematically, VI
Or, V=,
Where R is the constant of proportionality and is called resistance. Its SI unit is ohm.
(b) 1ohm is the resistance offered by a conductor of unit cross sectional area when 1A current flows through it at a voltage of 1 volt.
(c) V=IR;2=0.5R; or R=
2
0.5
=4ohm
