Georg Ohm
Georg Simon Ohm,
German physicist, was born in
Erlangen and educated at the university there.
He became professor at the college at
Cologne in 1817 and in the polytechnic school of
Nuremberg in 1833, and in 1852 became professor of experimental physics in the university of
Munich, where he later died.
His writings were numerous. The most important was his pamphlet published in
Berlin in 1827, with the title
Die galvanische Kette mathematisch bearbeitet. This work, the germ of which had appeared during the two preceding years in the journals of Schweigger and Poggendorff, has exerted an important influence on the development of the theory and applications of electric current.

Ohm's name has been incorporated in the terminology of
electrical science in
Ohm's Law , the proportionality of current and
voltage in a
resistor, and adopted as the SI unit of
resistance, the ohm .
