• Resistance was discovered by Girge Ohm in
1826, and is measured in ohms.
• Electricity does not flow through a circuit by
itself. It needs a ‘push’, or energy, to keep it
moving. We call this energy the voltage of the
circuit. Voltage is measured in volts (v).
• The German scientist George Ohm (1787-1854)
is best remembered for working out ohm’s law.
He discovered that they voltage across a
conductor such as a trip of metal or a wire – and
the current following through it always vary in
the same proportion. So if you double the
voltage, you double the current. This is incredibly
useful; because it lets you predict the current
you will get for a particular voltage.
