  2. This law (I = VR) was named after which German physicist? Answer: Georg Ohm
  3. Ohm’s law states these three things: volts, resistance, and what? Answer: Amperes
  4. Amperes represents the current, which is shown as this symbol. Answer: I
  5. Ohm’s law is the mathematical equation that applies the electrical circuits. Circuits come in these two types. Answer: Series/Parallel
p = iV -
  1. Power is represented with the symbol P. When shown with a number, it is represented as this. Also, it is the measurement for “rate of energy use”. Answer: watts
  2. If there is .5 amperes in a current, and 20 voltages powering it, what is the rate of energy (watts)? Answer: 10 watts
