First Electrical Note
The intent of this website is to eventually contain comprehensive notes for all the topics which I’ve covered in Electrical Engineering. That is going from Circuits 1 through to later topics in Analog Filtering and Beyond.
My motivation is to have clear resources that I can use as a starting point for any students. Answer any questions that I’ve gotten multiple times.
Ohm’s Law
Ohm’s law relates voltage, current, and resistance:
$$ V = I,R $$
Where:
- $V$ is voltage in volts (V)
- $I$ is current in amperes (A)
- $R$ is resistance in ohms (Ω)
Solving for other variables:
$$ I = \frac{V}{R} \qquad\text{and}\qquad R = \frac{V}{I} $$
Example — a 9 V battery across a 3 Ω resistor:
$$ I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{9\ \text{V}}{3\ \Omega} = 3\ \text{A} $$
Power relations (useful checks):
$$ P = VI = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R} $$
