Ohms Law
Ohms Law
Learn about Ohm's Law and how it is used in Renewable Energy systems
electric circuit | educationIf you are going to learn anything about
electric circuit principles then
Ohm's Law should be top of your list. With
Ohm's Law you can make calculations to quantify the
power,
voltage,
current, and
resistance in renewable energy systems with ease.
Above is a handy chart showing all of the inter-relationships beween power, current, voltage, and resistance in which:
V is measured in Volts.
R is measured in Ohms.
I is measured in Amps.
P is measured in Watts.
