Basic Laws and Definitions

Ohm's Law:

         Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
                                                                            V=IR

Joule-Lenz law:

         The power of heating generated by an electrical conductor is proportional to the product of its resistance and the square of the current.


Hall effect:

        The production of a potential difference across an electrical conductor when a magnetic field is applied in a direction perpendicular to that of the flow of current.

Ampere's Law:

        Ampere's Law specifically says that the magnetic field created by an electric current is proportional to the size of that electric current with a constant of proportionality equal to the permeability of free space.
