Success Criteria:
I am able to understand the concept of resistance and explain its significance in electrical circuits.
I am able to define Ohm's law and understand its mathematical representation (V = IR).
I am able to solve numerical problems involving Ohm's law (calculating voltage, current, or resistance when given two of these values).
Fun Fact
Ohm's law is named after the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm, who discovered the law in 1827. Interestingly, when Ohm first presented his findings to the Royal Society in Berlin, they rejected his work, as they didn't consider it significant at the time. It wasn't until later, when Ohm's work gained recognition through the efforts of influential scientists like Gustav Kirchhoff and James Clerk Maxwell, that Ohm's law became widely accepted and celebrated as a foundational principle in the field of electrical engineering. So, even groundbreaking scientific discoveries like Ohm's law can face initial skepticism before ultimately revolutionising our understanding of the natural world.
