Unlocking of Difficulties
Current (I)
the amount of electrical charge (the number of free
electrons) moving
fast at a given point in an electrical circuit per unit of
time.
Voltage (E)
the electrical pressure that causes free electrons to
travel through an
electrical circuit. Also known as electromotive force (emf).
Resistance (R)
the characteristics of a medium which opposes the
flow of electrical
current through itself.

C. Discussion
The teacher will show students how to use the formula by covering the
desired value
and solving the equation.

The teacher will show different word problems and let the students
solve the equation.

D. Generalization:

What is Ohms Law?

Ohms Law states:
The amount of current (I) that will flow is proportional to the
voltage applied (V), and inversely proportional to the resistance
(R) of the circuit. As Resistance increases, current decreases.

E. Application
Group Activity: Each group will be given an activity sheet to be solved.
Leader of the group will

present their work in front.

Evaluation
Direction: Solve and Show the solution of the following (5 points each)
1. An electric heater draws 3.5 A from a 110 V source. The resistance of the heating
element is approximately?
2. A flash light bulb is labeled to use 1.77 AMPS and its resistance is 1.60 . What
voltage is the light bulb rated for?
3. A stereo speaker has a resistance of 8.00 . When it is operating at full power
(exactly100 watts) it uses 35 volts of electricity. What is the current drawn by the
speaker?

V.

Assignment
Direction: Read and solve. Write it in your assignment notebook.
1. An emf source of 6.0 volts is connected to a purely resistive lamp and a current of
2.0 amps
flows. All the wires are resistance- free. What is the resistance of the
lamp?
2. A CD player with a resistance of 60 ohms has a current of 0.5 amps flowing through
it. Sketch
the circuit diagram and calculate how many volts supply the CD player?

For the following examples, voltage is E with an assigned a value of

12V, Current is I and is 2 amperes while resistance is R of 6 ohms. Note that * means multiply
by, while / means divide by.
For voltage [E = I x R]
(COVER E WITH HAND)
1. E (volts) = I (current) x R (resistance) OR
2. 12 volts = 2 amperes x 6 ohms
For current [I = E / R]
(COVER I WITH HAND)
1. I (current) = E (volts) / R (resistance) OR
2. 2 amperes = 12 volts / 6 ohms
For resistance [R = E / I] (COVER R WITH HAND)
1. R (resistance) = E (volts) / I (current) OR
2. 6 ohms = 12 volts / 2 amperes
Another way to look at the relationships between (P) power, (E) voltage, (I) current, and (R)
resistance is: One ohm is the resistance value through which one volt will maintain a current of
one ampere.

Analysis: Group Activity

Let the students solve the following problems:
Problem #1
A 110 volt wall outlet supplies power to a strobe light with a resistance of 2200 ohms. How much
current is flowing through the strobe light?

Expected answer: 0.05 amps

Problem #2
A CD player with a resistance of 40 ohms has a current of 0.1 amps flowing through it. Sketch the
circuit diagram and calculate how many volts supply the CD player.

Expected answer: 4.0 volts

Problem #3
A 120-volt power source supplies a lamp with a resistance of 192 ohms. What is the current flow
of the circuit?
E = I x R E = 120 volts R = 192
Replace known values in sentence: 120 = I x 192
Divide both sides by 192: 120/192 = I I = 0.625
Check answer: 120 = 0.625 x 192

Evaluation
Direction: Answer the following problems in a one half sheet of paper. 10
points
each.
Problem 1:
A nine volt battery supplies power to a cordless curling iron with a resistance of 18 ohms. How
much current is flowing through the curling iron?

Solution: OHM'S LAW E = I x R

Expected answer: I = 0.5 amps

Problem 2:
What is the resistance of the circuit conductors when the conductor voltage drop is 3 volts and
the current flowing through the conductors is 100 amperes?
E = I x R E = 3 volts I = 100 amps
Replace known values in sentence: 3 = 100 x R
Divide both sides by 100: 3/100 = R R = 0.03 Ohms
Check answer: 3 = 100 x 0.03

Problem #3
A 120-volt power source supplies a lamp with a resistance of 192 ohms. What is the current flow
of the circuit?

E = I x R E = 120 volts R = 192

Replace known values in sentence: 120 = I x 192
Divide both sides by 192: 120/192 = I I = 0.625
Check answer: 120 = 0.625 x 192
