1.1.6 · Hardware › Electricity & Charge Basics
Electricity ko wire mein flow karte hue paani ka pipe mein behna samjho.
Voltage (V) push hai — paani ko drive karne wala pressure difference.
Current (I) flow rate hai — kitna charge actually har second move karta hai.
Resistance (R) pipe ka kitna tanga ya bada hua hona hai — yeh flow se ladta hai.
Ohm's Law simply kehta hai: zyada push → zyada flow , aur zyada clogging → kam flow . Poora idea ek hi sentence mein hai.
Bahut saare materials ke liye (jinhe ohmic conductors kehte hain), kisi component se guzarne wala current us par lage voltage ke saath directly proportional hota hai, constant temperature par:
V = I R
jahan:
V = potential difference (voltage) volts (V) mein
I = current amperes (A) mein
R = resistance ohms (Ω) mein
Key word hai proportional : voltage double karo, current double ho jaata hai — jab tak R constant rahe (jiske liye constant temperature chahiye).
Hum sirf V = I R state nahi karte — hum ise build karte hain.
Intuition Deeper WHY (microscopic view)
Voltage ek electric field create karta hai jo electrons ko push karta hai. Lekin electrons metal lattice mein atoms se baar baar takraate rehte hain — woh collisions hi resistance hain. Zyada push (V) unhe faster drift karata hai (zyada I), lekin zyada collision-prone material (higher R) unhe slow kar deta hai. Proportionality isliye milti hai kyunki collision rate fixed temperature par roughly steady hoti hai.
Teeno forms ek hi equation par algebra hain:
V = I R I = R V R = I V
Worked example Example 1 — Current nikalo
Ek 12 V battery 6 Ω resistor drive karti hai. I nikalo.
I = R V = 6 12 = 2 A
Yeh step kyun? Hume V aur R pata hai, I chahiye , toh triangle mein I cover karo → V / R .
Worked example Example 2 — Resistance nikalo
Ek component mein 0.5 A current flow hota hai jab us par 9 V hai.
R = I V = 0.5 9 = 18 Ω
Yeh step kyun? R chahiye → R cover karo → V / I . Notice karo ki fraction (0.5) se divide karne par answer barhta hai, jo sense banta hai: bade voltage ke liye chota current matlab bada resistance.
Worked example Example 3 — Voltage nikalo (units mA mein hain)
250 mA current ek 220 Ω resistor se flow karta hai. V nikalo.
Pehle convert karo: 250 mA = 0.25 A .
V = I R = 0.25 × 220 = 55 V
Yeh step kyun? Plug in karne se pehle convert karo — formula sirf base SI units mein kaam karta hai (A, mA nahi). Yeh bhoolna #1 error hai.
Worked example Example 4 — Forecast-then-Verify
Forecast: Ek resistor 10 Ω par rehta hai. Agar hum 5 V se 15 V jaate hain (×3), current ka kya hoga?
Predict: Voltage triple hua, R constant → current triple hona chahiye.
Verify: I 1 = 5/10 = 0.5 A , I 2 = 15/10 = 1.5 A . Sach mein 1.5 = 3 × 0.5 . ✓
Kyun: Yeh law ke core mein directly proportional claim confirm karta hai.
Common mistake "R change hona chahiye agar V change ho — right?"
Kyun sahi lagta hai: Everyday life mein, zyada push karne se aksar situation change hoti hai, toh lagta hai R ko V par respond karna chahiye.
Fix: Ek ohmic resistor ke liye fixed temperature par, R material aur geometry ki ek fixed property hai. V change karne se I change hota hai, lekin R wahi rehta hai. R tabhi shift hota hai jab component khud change ho (heat up ho, ya non-ohmic device ho jaise bulb/diode).
Common mistake Unit conversion bhool jaana (mA, kΩ)
Kyun sahi lagta hai: Numbers toh numbers hain — seedha plug in kar do.
Fix: V = I R mein A, V, Ω chahiye. Agar mA (÷1000), kΩ (×1000), ya µA dikh raha hai, pehle convert karo. Handy shortcut: mA × kΩ = V directly (×1000 aur ÷1000 cancel ho jaate hain).
Common mistake Kaunsi quantity across hai aur kaunsi through, yeh mix up karna
Kyun sahi lagta hai: Sab "circuit mein" hain.
Fix: Voltage across hota hai (do points ke beech measure hota hai, parallel mein). Current through hota hai (along flow karta hai, series mein). Us component ke across voltage use karo jiska current nikalna hai.
Common mistake V=IR ko non-ohmic devices par fixed law ki tarah apply karna
Kyun sahi lagta hai: Resistors ke liye kaam kiya tha!
Fix: Filament lamp ya diode ke liye, R = V / I ek instantaneous resistance define karta hai, lekin woh value V ke saath change hoti hai — toh proportionality assume nahi kar sakte. Straight-line V–I graph sirf ohmic conductors ke liye hoti hai.
Intuition Graph interpretation
V (y-axis) vs I (x-axis) plot karo. Ek ohmic resistor ke liye origin se guzarti straight line milti hai, aur uska gradient = R hota hai (kyunki V = I R ka matlab slope = V / I = R hai).
Steeper line → bada resistance.
Curved line → non-ohmic (R constant nahi).
Recall Q: Ohm's Law words aur symbols mein state karo.
Ohmic conductor se guzarne wala current constant temperature par us par lage voltage ke directly proportional hota hai: V = I R .
Recall Q: I aur R ke liye rearrange karo.
I = V / R aur R = V / I .
Recall Q: Resistance kya hai agar 8 V par 4 A flow kare?
R = V / I = 8/4 = 2 Ω .
Recall Q: Temperature constant kyun honi chahiye?
Kyunki heating R ko change karti hai (zyada lattice vibration → zyada electron collisions → higher R), jo proportionality tod deta hai.
Recall Q: Ek ohmic resistor ke V–I graph par gradient kya represent karta hai?
Resistance R .
Recall Feynman: ek 12-saal ke bacche ko explain karo.
Socho kids ko slide par push kar rahe ho. Voltage hai kitni steep slide banate ho (push). Current hai kitne kids har second neeche pohunchte hain. Resistance hai slide kitni sticky/rough hai. Zyada steep banao (zyada voltage) toh zyada kids slide karte hain (zyada current). Zyada sticky banao (zyada resistance) toh kam pohunchte hain. Formula V = I R bas kehta hai: steepness = kids-per-second × stickiness.
V = I R aur uske do rearrangements.
Units: V, A, Ω — pehle mA/kΩ convert karo.
Ohmic ⇒ R constant ⇒ straight-line V–I graph, gradient = R.
V across hota hai (parallel), I through hota hai (series).
Ohm's Law equation V = I R
Ohm's Law ko current ke liye rearrange karo I = V / R
Ohm's Law ko resistance ke liye rearrange karo R = V / I
Resistance ki unit Ohm (Ω)
Current ki unit Ampere (A)
Potential difference ki unit Volt (V)
Ohm's Law mein "directly proportional" ka matlab kya hai? V double karne se I double hota hai jab R constant ho
Ohm's Law hold karne ki condition Constant temperature (ohmic conductor)
250 mA ko amperes mein convert karo 0.25 A
4.7 kΩ ko ohms mein convert karo 4700 Ω
V (y) vs I (x) graph ka gradient Resistance R
Ohmic resistor ke V–I graph ki shape Origin se guzarti straight line
Shortcut: mA × kΩ = ? Volts (factors cancel ho jaate hain)
Voltage ek component ke ___ measure hota hai; current ___ across; through
I nikalo: 12 V across 6 Ω 2 A
R nikalo: 9 V, 0.5 A 18 Ω
Wire heat hone par R kyun barhta hai? Atoms zyada vibrate karte hain → zyada electron collisions → higher resistance
Kya filament lamp ohmic hai? Nahi — heat hone par R barhta hai, isliye V–I curve bend hoti hai
Electric Current — formula mein I (charge flow per second)
Potential Difference (Voltage) — V , energy per unit charge
Resistance — R , plus resistivity aur geometry
Series and Parallel Circuits — resistances combine karna, jahan V/I placement matter karta hai
Power in Circuits (P = VI) — Ohm's Law ke saath combine hokar P = I 2 R = V 2 / R deta hai
Non-ohmic Components — diodes, filament lamps jahan R vary karta hai
