  2. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    The two resistors follow Ohm's law: The plot is a straight line through the origin. The other two devices do not follow Ohm's law. There are, however, components of electrical circuits which do not obey Ohm's law; that is, their relationship between current and voltage (their I–V curve) is nonlinear (or non-ohmic).

    Ohm's acoustic law is an empirical approximation concerning the perception of musical tones, named for Georg Simon Ohm. Okrent's law is Daniel Okrent's take on the argument to moderation. Okun's law, in economics: when unemployment increases by 1%, the annual GDP decreases by 2%.

    Ecological economics is an active field between economics and ecology with annual conferences, international societies, and an international journal. From 1956 to 1963, Odum worked as Director of the Marine Institute of the University of Texas. During this time Odum became aware of the interplay of ecological-energetic and economic forces.

  5. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    When the resistivity of a material has a directional component, the most general definition of resistivity must be used. It starts from the tensor-vector form of Ohm's law, which relates the electric field inside a material to the electric current flow. This equation is completely general, meaning it is valid in all cases, including those ...

  6. Electrical network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_network

    A simple electric circuit made up of a voltage source and a resistor. Here, =, according to Ohm's law. An electrical network is an interconnection of electrical components (e.g., batteries, resistors, inductors, capacitors, switches, transistors) or a model of such an interconnection, consisting of electrical elements (e.g., voltage sources, current sources, resistances, inductances ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductance_and...

    A 2008 review paper written by Philips researcher Clemens J. M. Lasance notes that: "Although there is an analogy between heat flow by conduction (Fourier's law) and the flow of an electric current (Ohm’s law), the corresponding physical properties of thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity conspire to make the behavior of heat flow ...

  8. Ohm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm

    The formula is a combination of Ohm's law and Joule's law: = = =, where P is the power, R is the resistance, V is the voltage across the resistor, and I is the current through the resistor. A linear resistor has a constant resistance value over all applied voltages or currents; many practical resistors are linear over a useful range of currents.

  9. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Ohm's law is satisfied when the graph is a straight line through the origin. Therefore, the two resistors are ohmic, but the diode and battery are not. For many materials, the current I through the material is proportional to the voltage V applied across it: over a wide range of voltages and currents. Therefore, the resistance and conductance ...
