Ohm's Law as a Life and Technology Compass: Navigating between Challenges and Dreams

Hello, navigators of the electric cosmos! Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on how the laws of electricity not only light up entire cities but also our lives? Have you pondered how life itself resembles an intricate electrical circuit, filled with voltage variations and resistances? It's time to adjust the compass and embark with me on this fascinating adventure.

Unlike our previous article, where we forged a connection between Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction and the pulsating energy of an electronic music rave, this time we'll take a different approach. At first glance, it might seem like we're riding the wave of motivational coaching, a practice that is increasingly associated with the label of "smoke and mirrors." However, far from such intent and setting aside the jesting tone, what we really aim to do is weave links between Ohm's life and the law that perpetuates his name. At the same time, we intend to explore certain aspects of the profound purpose of human existence, inviting reflection and questioning on essential topics.

Let's begin our journey by traveling back to the 19th century, where Georg Simon Ohm, a remarkable physics professor, built a legacy that remains essential in the world of physics and engineering today. Born in Erlangen, Germany, into a family of limited resources, Ohm was the son of a locksmith. He did not have access to formal education due to his family's financial constraints, but his father, a locksmith with a hunger for knowledge, instilled in his son a love for mathematics, physics, and philosophy.

The lack of resources and harsh criticism did not hinder Ohm; his passion and enthusiasm for learning were the source of energy that drove his "life circuit". And so, this locksmith's son became a notable scientist, and his name was immortalized in one of the most fundamental laws of physics: Ohm's Law.

His legacy tells us that, in an electrical circuit, the current is proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. Simple and elegant, isn't it? A straightforward yet deeply meaningful concept that can be reflected in our own lives.

Let's imagine for a moment that our life is a complex electrical circuit, filled with diverse and exciting experiences. Some of these experiences are peaceful, flowing like a smooth and steady current. Others are challenging, teeming with resistances and obstacles that demand courage and resilience. In this context, resistance is not an adversary, but transforms into an invaluable mentor. Challenges, like resistances in an electrical circuit, provide us with an opportunity to evolve and strengthen. They give us the proper stage to have our own "Ohm's Law."

• High Voltage Connections: Just as in an electrical circuit voltage serves as the force that propels electrons through any degree of resistance, in life, our faith and our purpose constitute the dynamic energy that drives our actions. They are the "voltage" of our lives, and as this voltage increases, the impact of the resistances in our path diminishes.

• Strengthening the Circuit: High voltage alone is not enough to overcome any resistance. It's crucial to also consider the material and caliber of our circuit. In our daily life, these elements equate to our character and intelligence. Just as different materials can handle higher or lower currents depending on their size or caliber, our experience and knowledge forge character traits that will help us better handle life's resistances, avoiding overloads and failures.

• Distributing the Load and Amplifying Our Power: Ultimately, the function of a circuit is not just to allow current flow, but to ensure that energy gets where it's most needed. Similarly, it's essential to have a refined and selective circle of influence that will help us better distribute the load and amplify our purpose with our loved ones and society at large.

From this analogy we can conclude the following: just as resistance in an electrical circuit serves to control and direct the flow of electricity, life's challenges provide us with an opportunity to grow. And to assume ever more meaningful responsibilities, and to successfully navigate challenges, it's essential not just to discover, but also to be faithful to our purpose or mission (our "why?"). This must be accompanied by a continuous strengthening of our character and our knowledge (our "how?"), while consciously cultivating the relationships around us and expanding our circle of influence in society (our "with whom?"). This approach allows us not only to survive, but also to find deep meaning and fulfillment in our life journey.

I hope this analogy allows you to perceive the applicability of Ohm's Law in your personal and professional aspects. But before saying goodbye, I want to emphasize that here, at our Applied Power Technology Research and Innovation Center (CIITAP), we take these analogies beyond theory. We delve into the practice of these concepts to give rise to innovations that can transform lives. Our project catalog is vast, including the development of intelligent power electronics equipment that seeks to increase the quality and efficiency of our electrical system. We are also creating artificial intelligence-based algorithms to optimize the integration of renewable energies into electrical grids across all of America.
