📚 Quick Study Guide

  • Ohm's Law: The relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) is defined by $V = IR$.
  • 📏 Voltage (V): Measured in volts (V), it's the electric potential difference.
  • 🌊 Current (I): Measured in amperes (A), it's the flow of electric charge.
  • 🚧 Resistance (R): Measured in ohms (Ω), it opposes the flow of current.
  • 📐 Finding Resistance: To find resistance, rearrange Ohm's Law: $R = \frac{V}{I}$.
  • 💡 Important Units: Ensure voltage is in volts (V) and current is in amperes (A) to get resistance in ohms (Ω).
