For which of the following discoveries in 1827 was the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm best known?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. for clarifying the mathematical relationship between electrical current, resistance and voltage.
- In 1827, Georg Simon Ohm, a German physicist, became best known for his discovery of the mathematical relationship between electrical current, resistance, and voltage.
- This relationship is encapsulated in Ohm's Law, which states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.
