In this episode we discuss Ohm’s law. Ohm’s law is named after George Simon Ohm who studied the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. Applications of Ohm’s law to measurement is discussed. Discussed are basic voltage, current, and resistance measurements, and some of the errors that Ohm’s law can be used to characterize.

We are announcing a new feature, we want your questions! We are looking for your science, engineering, or in general any technical question, and we will give a stab at answering it if we can. It can be anything from a question on how things work, a homework problem, and engineering problem, anything. We want to make this podcast more interactive.

In this episode we cover some basic power traceability techniques. Discussed is a short review of work and energy, then how one can know the DC power dissipated in a resistor, how that can be used to perform calorimetry on an RF power measuring device. From there a short discussion on comparing the calorimetric calibrated sensor with another sensor.

Also in this podcast, the consultant network we are trying to build at LearningMeasure.com was described.
