	Georg Ohm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Georg Simon Ohm, (March 16, 1789 - July 6, 1854), German physicist, was born in Erlangen and educated at the university there.
		He became professor of mathematics in the Jesuits' college at Cologne in 1817 and in the polytechnic school of Nuremberg in 1833, and in 1852 became professor of experimental physics in the university of Munich, where he later died.
		Ohm's name has been incorporated in the terminology of electrical science in Ohm's Law, the proportionality of current and voltage in a resistor, and adopted as the SI unit of resistance, the ohm (symbol Ω).

		Had Ohm's brothers and sisters all survived he would have been one of a large family but, as was common in those times, several of the children died in their childhood.
		Ohm's father, angry that his son was wasting the educational opportunity that he himself had never been fortunate enough to experience, demanded that Ohm leave the university after three semesters.
		Ohm had believed that his publications would lead to his receiving an offer of a university post before having to return to Cologne but by the time he was due to begin teaching again in September 1827 he was still without such an offer.

	Adventures in CyberSound: Ohm, Georg Simon
		Ohm's scientific contemporaries were slow to recognize his achievement, failing to realize how closely his conclusions were derived from careful experimental work and especially how his discovery ordered vast quantities of existing experimental data.
		The ohm, is the unit of electrical resistance, which is equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals.
		Ohm's Law states that the strength of an unvarying electric current is directly proportional to the electromotive force E, and inversely proportional to the resistance R of the circuit concerned.

		Nowadays Ohms Law, as it is called, in which all that is most valuable in the pamphlet is summarized, is as universally known as anything in physics.
		But this involves an assumption, undoubtedly true for small temperature-gradients, but still an assumption, viz, that, all else being the same, the flux of heat is strictly proportional to the gradient of temperature.
		An exactly similar assumption is made in the statement of Ohms law, i.e.

		Georg Simon Ohm was born on 18th March 1789 in Erlangen in Bavaria.
		Georg entered school at the age of 11 and he proved to be a bright student, and in 1805 he moved on to University at Erlangen.
		Whilst doing this Ohm noticed that the type of conductor had an effect on the flux and as a result he performed experiments to find out if there might be any relationship between the voltage, current and the material of the wire.

	Georg Simon Ohm: The Discovery of Ohm's Law
		Georg Ohm, German mathematician and physicist, began his important publications in 1825.
		Ohm's law, named after its discoverer, states that the potential difference V between the ends of a conductor or resistor R and the current I flowing through R are proportional at a given temperature:
		Ohm's law is never completely accurate, if R is assumed to be constant, for "real world" devices, because no real device is an ohmic device for every voltage and current - at some level, the device will open or short, for example, by burning up or arcing.

	The Inventors (E)
		Georg Simon Ohm's father was a rather remarkable man who had educated himself to a high level and was able to give his sons an excellent education through his own teachings and brought them to a high standard in mathematics, physics, chemistry and philosophy.
		Ohm's firsts paper published in 1825 examines the decrease in the electromagnetic force produced by a wire as the length of the wire increased.
		Georg Simon Ohm, a German schoolmaster, showed that current depended on the resistance of the wire circuit it flowed through, just as water flows more easily in a short, wide pipe than through a long, thin garden hose.

		Georg Simon Ohm was born on March 16, 1789 in the city of Erlangen in Bavaria, which is now Germany.
		Ohm was sent to Switzerland where, in September 1806, took up a post as a mathematics teacher in a school in Gottstadt bei Nydau.
		These papers continue Ohm's deduction of results from experimental evidence and, particularly in the second paper, he was able to propose laws which went a long way to explaining results of others working on galvanic electricity.

		Using equipment of his own creation, Ohm determined that the current that flows through a wire is proportional to its cross sectional area and inversely proportional to its length or Ohm's law.
		Ohm was forced to resign from his high-school teaching position and he lived in poverty and shame until he accepted a position at Nüremberg in 1833 and although this gave him the title of professor, it was still not the university post for which he had strived all his life.
		Ohm was afraid that the purely experimental basis of his work would undermine the importance of his discovery.

		The most important aspect of Ohm's law is summarized in his pamphlet Die galvanische Kette, mathematisch bearbeitet (1827; The Galvanic Circuit Investigated Mathematically).
		While his work greatly influenced the theory and applications of current electricity, it was so coldly received that Ohm resigned his post at Cologne.

	ohm -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		In the case of direct current (DC), the conductance in siemens is the reciprocal of the resistance in ohms (S = amperes per volts); in the case of alternating current (AC), it is the reciprocal of the impedance in ohms.
		A former term for the reciprocal of the ohm is the mho (ohm spelled backward).
		By means of chemical reactions within the battery, a potential difference is created between the terminals, and electrons flow in the conductor in one direction, away from the negative terminal toward the positive.

	Ohm
		Ohm utilized as an analogy to conductivity, the mathematical physics governing the flow of liquids and the thermodynamic equations of Fourier governing the dissipation of heat within a body.
		His results, now known as Ohm¹s law, were initially dismissed, and full recognition of his work did not come until 1841 when he was awarded the Copley Medal of the Royal Society and, belatedly, in 1881 when the International Electrical Congress established the ohm as the basic unit of resistance.
		As a preliminary to the formulation of his fundamental laws, Ohm defined the electroscopic force operationally as that force the presence of which was detected by means of an electroscope, and the quantity of electricity of a body as the product of the magnitude of its electroscopic times its volume.
