Ohms law numericals

OHMS LAW
1.definition
potential applied is directly proportional to current flowing in a conductor
2.V ∝ i
3,v=ir
removing proportinality constant keep a constant r
4.drawing graph between v and i we get a staright line passing through origin
5.straight line is called slope
6.slope of vi graph is called resistance
7 substances which obey ohms law are ohmice conductors
examples many metals
8.substances which do not obey ohms law are non ohmic conductors
example.transistor diode,filament,led,
9.for ohmic conductors graph is straight line
and non ohmic graph wont be straight line
10.least count of ammeter or voltmeter
formula is
least  ount= reading/divisions
11.instument which has less least counts t is best instrument

Ohm’s Law Applications

The main applications of Ohm’s law are:

To determine the voltage, resistance or current of an electric circuit.

Ohm’s law is used to maintain the desired voltage drop across the electronic components.

Ohm’s law is also used in DC ammeter and other DC shunts to divert the current.

Limitations of Ohm’s Law

Following are the limitations of Ohm’s law:

Ohm’s law is not applicable for unilateral electrical elements like diodes and transistors as they allow the current to flow through in one direction only.

For non-linear electrical elements with parameters like capacitance, resistance etc the voltage and current won’t be constant with respect to time making it difficult to use Ohm’s law.

When does Ohm’s law fail?

Ohm’s law fails to explain the behaviour of semiconductors and unilateral devices such as diodes. Ohm’s law may not give the desired results if the physical conditions such as temperature or pressure are not kept constant.
