  • Ohm's law states that resistance and current are proportional to voltage by the equation by dividing by area, this becomes where J is current density, σ is conductivity, and E is the electric field strength in the wire. For AC circuits, this becomes with Z representing impedance. This is a more general form of Ohm's law. Ohm's law is not always followed. All materials will experience an electrical breakdown (a spark) given a high enough voltage, and some materials, such as diodes, do not follow Ohm's law even at low voltages.

  • No, Ohm's law has nothing to do with calm humming or yoga whatsoever. Rather, Ohm's law is a relationship vital to the understanding of circuitry. Ohm's law was formulated by German scientist Georg Simon Ohm who discovered that the ratio of the potential difference (the voltage drop from one point to a second point) to the current is constant for any conductor. In other words, the resistance remains the same as the magnitude or the direction of the potential difference changes. Initially Georg Ohm used voltaic piles, but later used a thermocouple because the thermocouple was a more stable voltage source, finally, to measure current he used a galvanometer. He applied various voltage levels to his circuit and recorded the resulting current. Through his experimental data he observed that the voltage drop was directly proportional to the current. This means that if voltage is plotted against current, the data will resemble a straight line where the slope at any given point is the resistance of the conductor. Ohm's law first appeared in his book Die galvanische Kette, mathematisch bearbeitet in 1827 in which he gave his complete theory of electricity. Other physicists did not readily accept his results because his law was based entirely on experimental data. Ohm was forced to resign from his teaching position and lived in poverty and shame. However, his work was eventually recognized by the Royal Society with its award of the Copley Medal in 1841. This image was taken from [1]

The actual statement of Ohm's Law is: The current flowing through a metallic conductor is proportional to the Electromotive force applied across it's ends, provided the temperature and all other conditions remain constant.
