2. Fundamental units of electricity
• Voltage is the pressure that pushes current to flow within
a load through a conductor
• Current is the flow of electrons in a circuit
• Resistance is the opposition of the flow of electrons in a
circuit.
• Power is the product of work done
4. OBJECTIVES
• Define Ohm’s Law;
• Solve problems using Ohm’s Law;
• Appreciate the use of Ohm’s law in measurement and
calculation of electrical load; and
• Practice accuracy in computation.
5. What is Ohm’s Law?
• states that the current in the circuit is directly proportional
to the voltage and inversely proportional to its resistance.
6. Where:
• I is the current through the conductor in units of
amperes and the flow electrons in a circuit.
• V is the voltage measured across the conductor in units of
volts and an electrical pressure that pushes current to
flow within a load through a conductor.
• R is the resistance of the conductor in units of ohms (Ω)
and the opposition of the flow of electrons in a circuit.
7. • It also means that if the voltage increases the current also
increases and if the voltage decreases the current will also
decrease in which the resistance is constant.
• More specifically, Ohm's law states that the R in this relation
is constant, independent of the current.
• The law was named after the German physicist Georg Ohm,
8. How will you find the value of V, I,
and R using Ohm’s law?

10. Activity
• Group 1 will create an ohm’s law triangle using recyclable
materials found in their surroundings.
• Group 2 will create a yell about ohm’s law (you can use
the words voltage, current and resistance)
• Group 3 will create an ohm’s law triangle using perishable
materials found in their surroundings.
12. • Group 1 - A light bulb is plugged into a wall outlet of 220 V
with a resistance of 0.02 Ω. What is the current of the circuit?
• Group 2 - A voltage 6.0V is connected to a lamp and a current
of 2.0 amperes flows. All the wires are resistance-free. What is
the resistance of the lamp?
• Group 3 - Another flash light bulb is rated to use 0.3 amps and
has a resistance of 4.0 Ω. How much voltage does this bulb
use?
14. Concluding Activity
• Each group will be given strips of paper containing
word/s to complete the Ohm’s Law statement, and post
it on the space where they think it suits best.
• Then, each group will choose a representative to give a
brief explanation about their understanding on the topic.
Editor's Notes
What will happen to the current in the circuit if the voltage increases? If the current increases, what will happen to the voltage in a circuit?
In a treatise in 1827, described measurements of applied voltage and current through simple electrical circuits containing various lengths of wire.
Treatise – a systematic argument in writing
How do we compute the voltage in the circuit if only the amount of current and resistance are given?
Application: Do you have electrical connection at home before typhoon Odette happened? Let’s find the value of V, I, and R using Ohm’s law formula.
