Ohm’s Law – Statement:

Ohm’s law states that the current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across the conductor and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor, where the temperature remains constant.

Ohm’s Law discusses the important variables in circuits:


QUANTITY SYMBOL SI UNIT DENOTED BY OHM’S LAW APPLICABLE
Current I Ampere A What-is-Ohms-Law-4.jpeg
Voltage E or V Volt V What-is-Ohms-Law-5.jpeg
Resistance R Ohm Ω What-is-Ohms-Law-6.jpeg


Applications of Ohm’s law:

Ohm’s law applications:

1. To determine power consumption

2. To regulate the fan speed

3. To determining the fuse range

4. To determine the resistor size.

Limitations of Ohm’s law:

1. Only metallic conductors can use Ohm’s law. Therefore, it won’t function with non-metallic conductors.

2. The ratio of voltage and current won’t be constant with regards to time for non-linear electrical elements with features like capacitance, resistance, etc., making it hard to apply Ohm’s law.

3. Since transistors and diodes only allow current to flow in one direction, Ohm’s law does not apply to these electrical components.

Electrical Transformers – Formulas and Equations
Electrical Transformers – Formulas and Equations
Transformers are one of the most common types of electrical devices, and they may be found in a variety of applications within the area of electrical engineering, including power systems. Therefore, in the position of an electrical engineer, it is usually neededto compute various characteristics of a transformer in order to establish the circumstances under which it operates. In order to do this,will need to use conventional equations, which can be seen mentioned in the sections that will follow

Lenz's Law Explained
Lenz's Law Explained
Lenz's Law, named after the Russian physicist Heinrich Lenz (1804-1865), is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism. It states that the direction of the induced electromotive force (emf) in a closed conducting loop always opposes the change in magnetic flux that caused it. This means that the induced current creates a magnetic field that opposes the initial change in magnetic flux, following the principles of conservation of energy.Understanding Lenz's Law allows us to appreciate the science
