Starting electronics<br />

Thus, a current of, say, 1 A flowing through a resistance of<br />

5 Ω, produces a voltage of:<br />

across the resistance.<br />

These three expressions which combine to make Ohm’s law<br />

are the most common ones you’ll ever meet in electronics,<br />

so look at ’em, read ’em, use ’em, learn ’em, inwardly digest<br />

’em — just don’t forget ’em. Right? Right.<br />

Take note — Take note — Take note — Take note<br />

And another thing. See the way we’ve said throughout,<br />

that a voltage is applied or produced across<br />

a resistance. Similarly a current flows through a<br />

resistance. Well let’s keep it like that! Huh? Just<br />

remember that a voltage is across: a voltage does not<br />

flow through. Likewise, a current flows through: it<br />

is not across.<br />

There is no such thing as a flow of voltage through a<br />

resistance, and there’s no such thing as a current<br />

across a resistance.<br />
