Vector form of Ohm's Law
Vector form of ohm’s law
if E is the magnitude of electric field in a conductor of length I, then the Potential difference across its ends is
V = EI
Also, from ohm’s law, we can write,
E= Jρ
As the direction of current density j is same as that of electric field E, we can write the above eqn as
or
The above equation is the vector form of ohm’s law. It is equivalent to scalar from, V = RI.
