Talk:643: Ohm

"who determined that a given resistor would pass double the current..." -Actually, this is true only of ohmic resistors, which have constant resistance. Wire resistors, which I'm assuming are what Ohm used, are essentially ohmic for low voltage/current, but their resistance increases at high voltage because they give off dramatically more energy as heat. Other types of resistors have different behaviour. For example, semiconductors have low resistance in one direction and high resistance in the other. Probably someone should correct this!

Funnily enough, the Dutch word for "Uncle" sounds similar to "Ohm", though it is spelled differently (Oom). 162.158.111.229 11:02, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

"... both the origin story of spider-man and Ohm's law deal with power". No, Ohm's law doesn't mention power at all. 108.162.250.29 09:30, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
