Question
In 1827, a German physicist Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854) found out the relationship between the current I, flowing in metallic wire and the potential difference across its terminals. He stated that the electric current flowing through a metallic wire is directly proportional to the potential difference V, across its ends provided its temperature remains the same.
The resistance of a circuit is defined as the ratio between the voltage applied to the current flowing through it. Rearranging the above relation,
$R=\frac{V}{I}$
Electric charge flows easily through some materials than others. The electrical resistance measures how much the flow of this electric charge is restricted within the circuit.

Answer

i. Ohm is the unit of electrical resistance.
ii. According to Ohm's law, there is a relation between the current flowing through a conductor and the potential difference across it. It is given by,
$\mathrm{V} \propto \mathrm{I} \mathrm{V}=\mathrm{IR}$
iii. $\mathrm{R}_{3}$ resistance has high resistance.

A concave lens is thick at the edges and thin at the centre, while a convex lens is thick at the centre and thin at the edges. We can distinguish between a concave lens and a convex lens without touching them. For this keep a book close to a lens and observe the image of the text of the book through the lens. If the letters appear enlarged, then it is a convex lens and if the letters appear diminished then it is a concave lens.

Convex lens converges light rays and hence known as converging lens. Similarly, concave lens diverges light rays and is known as diverging lens. Linear magnification produced by a lens is equal to the ratio of the image distance to the object distance. Power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length.

When light ray goes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, it suffers a change in direction, into second medium. The extent of the change in direction suffered by the phenomenon of change in the path of light rays when going from one medium to another medium is known as refraction. Ray is a given pair of media can be expressed in terms of refractive index. The refractive index is related to an important physical quantity in the relative speed of light in different media.

How do we express electric current? Electric current is defined by the amount of charge flowing through a particular area in unit time. In other words, it is the rate of flow of electric charges. In circuits using metallic wires, electrons constitute the flow of charges. However, electrons were not known at the time when the phenomenon of electricity was first observed. So, electric current was considered to be the flow of positive charges and the direction of flow of positive charges was taken to be the direction of electric current. Conventionally, in an electric circuit, the direction of electric current is taken as opposite to the direction of theflow of electrons, which are negative charges.
