Georg Ohm is one of the most popular and richest Physicist who was born on March 16, 1789 in Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany. His formula for Ohm’s law wouldn’t have been possible in the absence of Alessandro Vota’s development of electrochemical cells.
He was born in Erlangen, Brandenburg-Bayreuth, to Maria Elizabeth Beck and Johann Wolfgang Ohm. One of his brothers, Martin Ohm, became famous as a mathematician.
He was the 1841 winner of the highly coveted Copley Medal.
