The three basic electrical quantities are:
> electric current ( I ) in Ampere
> Voltage ( V ) in Volts
> Resistance ( R ) in ohm or Ω
How are these three related to one
another?
• Answer the Activity on Ohm’s Law.

5. • Questions:
• From table A what happens to current as the
voltage increases?
• Describe the graph of voltage against
current? What does the graph indicate?
• In table B describe the values of resistance
in each reading?
• What quantity seems to affect the current?
• Describe the graph of table B. What is the
relationship that exists in table B?
• How do you state Ohm’s Law?

6. • The relationship
between Voltage, Current and Resistance in any
DC electrical circuit was firstly discovered by the
German physicist Georg Ohm, (1787 1854). Georg Ohm found that, at a constant
temperature, the electrical current flowing
through a fixed linear resistance is directly
proportional to the voltage applied across
it, and also inversely proportional to the
resistance. This relationship between
the Voltage, Current and Resistance forms the
bases of Ohms Law and is shown below.
