Georg Simon Ohm in whose honour we have the famous Ohm’s Law, hailed from which country? Correct Answer Germany

The correct answer is option 1: The famous physicist Georg Simon Ohm hailed from Germany.

  • Ohm was born on March 16, 1789, in Erlangen, Bavaria.
  • While teaching in Jesuits College he undertook the experiments on Newly discovered phenomenon of Electromagnetism.
  • He observed the dependence of magnetic flux on the conductor material.
  • Later in 1827, he gave a law establishing the relationship between Voltage, Electric Current and Resistance but he was severely criticized for this and was also thrown out of his job.
  • But in 1841, the importance of his study was recognised and in 1849 he was offered a position of Experimental Physics Professor at the University of Munich.
  • The unit of Resistance has been named after him as 'Ohm'.

 Ohm's Law:

It states that amount electric current through passing a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across two ends of it. Following its the mathematical expression for Ohm's Law.

V = IR.
