Georg Simon Ohm 1787 - 1854

Georg Simon Ohm discovered how electromotive force works in an electrical circuit, including the relationship that resistance and current play within the circuit.

It was Georg Simon Ohm who defined the fundamental laws of current, resistance and voltage in an electrical circuit by using a basic formula:

I = E/R (This can also be transposed and rewritten): E = I x R (and also) R = E/I

Ohm's Law is one of the most important formulas in electrical theory.

What does 0 ohms indicate?

0 ohms on your ohm meter indicates an open circuit; no resistance to the flow of electricity.


If you have flow of electricity which is 5 volts and 2.6k ohms what is the current?

I = V/R 5 volts / 2600 ohms = .00192 or round to .002.

What is the full form of OHMS?

A measurement of electricity. Discovered by George Ohm. Ohm being his last name. Not an abbreviation. A measurement of electrical current resistance based per 1 amp of current flow.


How does current electricity behave?

In a very predictable way. It follows Ohms law. Electrons do not flow instead they transfer their charge down a conductor to where they do work. Usually heating or lighting. They can excite a magnetic field and make a motor go. As a magnetic field is crossed by a conductor a current is generated.
