George Simon Ohm

1826 George Simon Ohm (1787-1854) wanted to measure the motive force of electrical currents .

 

He found that some conductors worked better than others and quantified the differences.

 

He waited quite some time to announce "Ohm's Law" because his theory was not accepted by his peers.

 

The unit for resistance is named after him.
