This is a short biography of George Ohm, the 19th-century German physicist who formulated Ohm's Law, which describes the mathematical relationship between electrical current, resistance, and voltage. Unlike most German scientists at the time, Ohm took a mathematical approach to electricity and magnetism. Read about his perseverance in the face of significant adversity and initial poor reception to his theory by scientific peers.
