Ohm's law

Ohm's law states that in a well-behaved conductor, the electric current between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, t

Electrical resistivity is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that

…density at a given location in a resistive material, E is the electric field at that location, and σ (sigma) is a material-dependent parameter called the conductivity, defined as the inverse of resistivity ρ (rho). This reformulation of Ohm's law is due to Gustav Kirchhoff. In January 1781, before Georg Ohm's work…
Lightning is an example of plasma present at Earth's surface. Typically, lightning discharges 30,000 A at up to 100 MV, and emits light, radio waves, and X-rays. Plasma temperatures in lightning might approach 30,000 K (29,700 °C; 53,500 °F), and electron densities may exceed 1024 m−3.
