Ohm’s Law

© 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.


Ohm’s Law
 Ohm's law states
that, in an electrical
circuit, the current
passing through
most materials is
directly proportional
to the potential
difference applied
across them.
Ohm’s Law Formulas
 There are three forms of
Ohm’s Law:
 I = V/R
 V = IR
 R = V/I
 where:
 I = Current
 V = Voltage
 R = Resistance

Fig. 3-4: A circle diagram to help in memorizing the Ohm’s Law formulas V = IR, I = V/R,
and R= V/I. The V is always at the top.

The Current I = V/R
 I = V/R
 In practical units, this law
may be stated as:
 amperes = volts / ohms

Fig. 3-1: Increasing the applied voltage V produces more current I to light the bulb with
more intensity.

Practical Units

 The three forms of Ohm’s law can


be used to define the practical units
of current, voltage, and resistance:
 1 ampere = 1 volt / 1 ohm
 1 volt = 1 ampere × 1 ohm
 1 ohm = 1 volt / 1 ampere

Multiple and Submultiple Units

 Units of Voltage
 The basic unit of voltage is the volt (V).
 Multiple units of voltage are:
 kilovolt (kV)
1 thousand volts or 103 V
 megavolt (MV)
1 million volts or 106 V
 Submultiple units of voltage are:
 millivolt (mV)
1-thousandth of a volt or 10-3 V
 microvolt (μV)
1-millionth of a volt or 10-6 V
Multiple and Submultiple Units

 Units of Current
 The basic unit of current is the ampere (A).
 Submultiple units of current are:
 milliampere (mA)
1-thousandth of an ampere or 10-3 A
 microampere (μA)
1-millionth of an ampere or 10-6 A
3-5: Multiple and Submultiple Units

 Units of Resistance
 The basic unit of resistance is the Ohm (Ω).
 Multiple units of resistance are:
 kilohm (kΩ)
1 thousand ohms or 103 Ω
 Megohm (MΩ)
1 million ohms or 106 Ω
Problem
 How much is the current, I, in a 470-kΩ resistor if its
voltage is 23.5 V?

 How much voltage will be dropped across a 40 kΩ


resistance whose current is 250 µA?
3-6: The Linear Proportion between V and
I
 When V is constant:
 I decreases as R increases.
 I increases as R decreases.
 Examples:
 If R doubles, I is reduced by half.
 If R is reduced to ¼, I increases by 4.
 This is known as an inverse relationship.
3-7: Electric Power
 The basic unit of power is the watt (W).
 Multiple units of power are:
 kilowatt (kW):
1000 watts or 103 W
 megawatt (MW):
1 million watts or 106 W
 Submultiple units of power are:
 milliwatt (mW):
1-thousandth of a watt or 10-3 W
 microwatt (μW):
1-millionth of a watt or 10-6 W
3-7: Electric Power
 Work and energy are basically the same, with identical
units.

 Power is different. It is the time rate of doing work.


 Power = work / time.
 Work = power × time.
3-7: Electric Power
 Practical Units of Power and Work:
 The rate at which work is done (power) equals the
product of voltage and current. This is derived as
follows:
 First, recall that:

1 joule 1 coulomb
1 volt = and 1 ampere =
1 coulomb 1 second
3-7: Electric Power

Power = Volts × Amps, or


P=V×I
3-7: Electric Power
 Kilowatt Hours
 The kilowatt hour (kWh) is a unit commonly used for
large amounts of electrical work or energy.

 For example, electric bills are calculated in kilowatt


hours. The kilowatt hour is the billing unit.

 The amount of work (energy) can be found by


multiplying power (in kilowatts) × time in hours.
3-7: Electric Power
To calculate electric cost, start with the power:
 An air conditioner operates at 240 volts and 20
amperes.
 The power is P = V × I = 240 × 20 = 4800 watts.
 Convert to kilowatts:
4800 watts = 4.8 kilowatts
 Multiply by hours: (Assume it runs half the day)
energy = 4.8 kW × 12 hours = 57.6 kWh
Problem
 How much is the output voltage of a power supply if it
supplies 75 W of power while delivering a current of 5
A?
3-8: Power Dissipation in Resistance

 When current flows in a resistance, heat is produced


from the friction between the moving free electrons and
the atoms obstructing their path.

 Heat is evidence that power is used in producing


current.
3-8: Power Dissipation in Resistance

 The amount of power dissipated in a resistance may be


calculated using any one of three formulas, depending
on which factors are known:
 P = I2×R
 P = V2 / R
 P = V×I
Problem
 Solve for the power, P, dissipated by the resistance,
R
a. I = 1 A, R = 100Ω , P = ?
b. I = 20 mA, R = 1 kΩ , P = ?
c. V = 5 V, R = 150Ω , P = ?
d. V = 22.36 V, R = 1 kΩ , P = ?

 How much power is dissipated by an 8-Ω load if the


current in the load is 200 A?
3-9: Power Formulas
There are three basic power formulas, but each can be
in three forms for nine combinations.

Where:
P = Power V = Voltage I = Current R=Resistance
3-9: Power Formulas
 Combining Ohm’s Law and the Power Formula
 All nine power formulas are based on Ohm’s Law.

V = IR P = VI
I= V
R
 Substitute IR for V to obtain:
 P = VI
 = (IR)I
 = I 2R
3-9: Power Formulas
 Combining Ohm’s Law and the Power Formula
 Substitute V/R for I to obtain:
 P = VI
= V × V/ R
= V2 / R

Problem
 What is the resistance of a device that dissipates 1.2
kW of power when its current is 10 A?

 How much current does a 960 W coffeemaker draw


from the 120 V power line?

 What is the resistance of a 20 W, 12 V halogen lamp?


3-10: Choosing a Resistor
for a Circuit
 Follow these steps when choosing a resistor for a
circuit:
 Determine the required resistance value as R = V / I.
 Calculate the power dissipated by the resistor using any
of the power formulas.
 Select a wattage rating for the resistor that will provide
an adequate cushion between the actual power
dissipation and the resistor’s power rating.
 Ideally, the power dissipation in a resistor should never
be more than 50% of its power rating.
Problem
 Determine the required resistance and appropriate
wattage rating of a carbon-film resistor to meet the
following requirements. The resistor has a 54-V IR
drop when its current is 20 mA. The resistors available
have the following wattage ratings:
1/8 W, 1/4 W, 1/2 W, 1 W, and 2 W.
3-10: Choosing a Resistor
for a Circuit
 Maximum Working Voltage Rating
 A resistor’s maximum working voltage rating is the
maximum voltage a resistor can withstand without
internal arcing.

 The higher the wattage rating of the resistor, the higher


the maximum working voltage rating.
3-10: Choosing a Resistor
for a Circuit
 Maximum Working Voltage Rating
 With very large resistance values, the maximum
working voltage rating may be exceeded before the
power rating is exceeded.

 For any resistor, the maximum voltage which produces


the rated power dissipation is:
Vmax = Prating × R

 Exceeding Vmax causes the resistor’s power dissipation


to exceed its power rating
3-11: Electric Shock
 When possible, work only on circuits that have the
power shut off.

 If the power must be on, use only one hand when


making voltage measurements.

 Keep yourself insulated from earth ground.

 Hand-to-hand shocks can be very dangerous because


current is likely to flow through the heart!

Short-Circuit Troubles

Short-Circuit Troubles
