Berlin: J.G.F. Kniestädt for T.H. Riemann, 1827. First edition. First edition of "Ohm's great work" (DSB), containing the fully-developed presentation of his theory of electricity, including Ohm's Law. "Ohm's great contribution − 'The Galvanic Chain Mathematically Calculated' − was to measure the rate of current flow and the effects of resistance on the current. 'Ohm's law' − that the resistance of a given conductor is a constant independent of the voltage applied or the current flowing was arrived at theoretically by analogy with Fourier's heat measurements" (PMM).. PMM 289 - Measuring Electricity. First edition of "Ohm's great work" (DSB), containing the fully-developed presentation of his theory of electricity, including Ohm's Law. "Ohm's great contribution − 'The Galvanic Chain Mathematically Calculated' − was to measure the rate of current flow and the effects of resistance on the current. 'Ohm's law' − that the resistance of a given conductor is a constant independent of the voltage applied or the current flowing (that is, C = E/R, where C = current, E = electromotive force and R = resistance) − was arrived at theoretically by analogy with Fourier's heat measurements (1800-14)" (PMM). "The expression "investigated mathematically" in the title of Ohm's book described his objective: to deduce the properties of the galvanic circuit from a set of "fundamental laws." The first of these laws states that electricity passes only between adjacent particles of the conductor and t
