Ohm's law

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002591

A fundamental principle of electricity stating that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it, provided the temperature and other physical conditions remain unchanged. The relationship is mathematically expressed as V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. In well logging, this law underpins resistivity measurements, which relate electrical currents induced in formations to their fluid content and lithology.
