Georg Simon Ohm

Georg Simon Ohm is already a rock in scientific world due its his significant discovery in the field of electricity. Thus, switching from teacher to electrical research pioneer, Ampere has had a profound impact on the concepts and usage of electrical current and electrical resistances.

Ohm’s early childhood and youth in Germany was characterized by his fascination with electrochemistry. To pursue his education he went to Switzerland where he continued his education in mathematics which fanned his desires for exploring more.

Ohm also stayed at the University of Heidelberg and University of Erlangen for many years. Thus, his commitment to physics and electrical studies led to significant findings, which he disseminated among his students at the University of Munich.

Ohm is most famous for Ohm’s Law, which provides the mathematical way in which voltage, current and resistor values are interrelated in any circuit. This has perfectly and largely made it a law in the design and coming up of numerous electrical systems including those important in the space research.

It stands that specific recognitions of Ohm and his works during his lifetime are not clearly recorded but he remains memorialized in electrical engineering through the unit of electrical resistance, the ‘ohm. ’ By this tribute, precisely it indicates the effectivity of his work in electrical engineering.

Thus, Ohm’s personal life is an example of his devotion to science. His applied style of experimentation contributed to the usage of theories in applying electrical engineering.

The modern technological advancements as well as space explorations still utilize the formulas provided by Ohm. Ohm’s Law to this date is applied in the study of electricity, underlining the importance of his discovery and educating a generation of students in scientific schools.
