1826 - Resistance - Currents Causing Heat
In 1826, the German Physicist Georg Simon Ohm, examined Volta's
Principle of the electric battery and Ampere's relationship of
currents in a circuit. He noted that when there was a current in
a circuit, there was at times, heat, and the amount of heat was
related to different metals. He discovered that there was a
relationship between current and heat, there was some "resistance"
to the flow of current, in the circuit. By discovering this, he
found out that if the potential difference (volts), remained
constant, the current was in proportion to the resistance. This
unit of electrical resistance - the ohm - was named after him.
He also formulated a law, showing the relationship between volts,
amps and resistance and this law was called "Ohm's Law" also named
after him. This law as we know it today, is the basis of electricity.
