Ohm's Law
The relationship between current, voltage, and resistance was described by George Simon
Ohm in a form that is commonly referred to as Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law states that current is
equal to voltage divided by resistance. This law is often expressed using symbols for each
quantity. This course describes Ohm's law; the units in which power is measured; and how
to solve for power, voltage, current, and resistance using Ohm's Law.

Given two of the three values of voltage, current, and resistance, solve for the
remaining value using Ohm's Law.
Define the term "power" and the units in which it is measured.
Discuss the more complex form of Ohm's Law, which brings power into the
equation.
