Georg Simon Ohm (16 March 1789 – 6 July 1854) was a German mathematician and physicist. As a school teacher, Ohm began his research with the new electrochemical cell, invented by Italian scientist Alessandro Volta. Using equipment(Submitted on March 16, 2026, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)of his own creation, Ohm found that there is a direct proportionality between the potential difference (voltage) applied across a conductor and the resultant electric current; this relation is known as Ohm's law.Photographed by James Hulse, February 25, 20262.
