Total: 15
(a) State Ohm's Law. Represent it mathematically.
(b) Define1 ohm .
(c) What is the resistance of a conductor through which a current of0.5 A flows when a potential difference of 2 V is applied across its ends?
(b) Define
(c) What is the resistance of a conductor through which a current of
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,V ∝ I
Or,V = ℝ ,
WhereR is the constant of proportionality and is called resistance. Its SI unit is ohm.
(b)1 ohm is the resistance offered by a conductor of unit cross sectional area when 1 A current flows through it at a voltage of 1 volt.
(c)V = IR ; 2 = 0.5 R ; or R =
= 4 ohm .
Mathematically,
Or,
