Georg Simon Ohm (/oʊm/;[1] German: [ˈɡeːɔʁk ˈziːmɔn ˈoːm];[2][3] 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 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.
