Passive Elements
Resistance (R): Property of opposition to flow of current
The voltage across the resistor is proportional to the current flowing
through it ; VR α I or VR = IR, ‘R’ = VR/I; Unit - Ohm
• That is,
𝑣 ∝𝑖
• Ohm (scientist) defined the constant of proportionality for a resistor to be
resistance, R.
• The direction of current and the polarity of voltage 𝑣 must conform with the
passive sign convention.
order for 𝑣 = 𝑖𝑅 .
This implies that current flows from a higher potential to a lower potential in
Note : It should be pointed out that not all resistors obey Ohm’s law.
A resistor that obeys Ohm’s law is known as a linear resistor.

• The series combination seems to behave identically to the parallel
combination.
• One can replace one configuration the other where needed. And this
for switch is called source
transformation.
• Generally, that requires beginning the simplification at the opposite end of the
circuit from the meter and then working toward the meter.
Solution:
The voltmeter measures the voltage across the current
source.

(The color-coded probes of the voltmeter indicate the reference direction of the
voltage measured by the voltmeter.)
Figure 2 shows the circuit after the replacing the voltmeter by the equivalent open
circuit and adding a label to show the voltage measured by the meter.
