Mammoth Memory

Alternative method to remember Ohm's law

Another way of remembering Ohm's law is to use a power triangle and remember Vault into an Indian Restaurant.

V, I, R triangle

 

 

Power triangle for remembering the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

1. If you want to know what volts are, grab the V from the triangle and what are you left with is:

V is equal to I multiplied by R.

Therefore:

V=I×R

 

2. If you want to know what resistance is, grab the R from the triangle and what are you left with is:

R is equal to V over I

Therefore:

R=VI

 

3. If you want to know what the amps are, grab the I from the triangle and see what you are left with:

I is equal to V over R

Therefore:

I=VR
