    Law Ohm's law
AI Thread Summary
To prove Ohm's Law, conducting experiments is essential, as it is fundamentally a physics law rather than a mere mathematical formula. Historical experiments by Georg Simon Ohm demonstrated the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. A practical approach involves measuring current and voltage across a resistor to verify the linear relationship described by the law. Engaging in hands-on experiments can provide clear evidence of Ohm's Law in action. Understanding the experimental basis is crucial for a comprehensive grasp of this fundamental principle in electronics.

Please don't ask the same question multiple times. More than once and you will surely lose friends. :wink:

What do you think would be a good approach to proving Ohm's Law?

Since this is a physics law, not a mathematial formula, what Ohm himself did was show it by experiment.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
