Ohm's Law (conceptual)
Easyphysics
Ohm's law states current through a conductor is directly proportional to?
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Voltage across it (at constant temperature)
- Statement: Ohm's law states that for a metallic conductor, the current (I) flowing through it is directly proportional to the potential difference (V) applied across its ends, provided temperature and other physical conditions remain constant.
- Mathematical Form: I∝V⟹V=IR, where R is the constant of proportionality called resistance.
- Validity: It applies primarily to ohmic conductors (like metals) within linear regions of operation.
- Conclusion: The current is proportional to the voltage (potential difference).
