Talk:Georg Ohm

message: I notice that this has been changed a few times, but I can't understand why, and it seems to me that Ohm should clearly be considered German. He spoke German, went to German universities, and I'm not aware that the location was ever part of France.
Shouldn't this be corrected back, or am I missing something?

thread_title:  French or German? 

message: I find different sources in which contain different information about his real born year. One of my books about him states that he was born on 1787, also I find some sources go along with this figure: , , ,  etc.
while 1789 seems to be mentioned more frequently: , ,    
, , Germany Wiki, etc.
So which one is true? Causesobad → (Talk) 14:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ohm's birth year: 1787 or 1789??? 

message: I just fixed this, but this article used to say that Ohm's Law is the relationship between resistance and resistivity, which is terribly inaccurate. Unfortunately, that's pretty much all I know about Ohm. Also, the one cited source for this article seems to contain a very accurate definition of Ohm's Law, so it seems that this article doesn't actually stick to what the cited source says. 
Also, maybe someone who is fluent in German can skim through Die galvanische Kette   and give a better description of how Ohm described the law. In the one I put in, I just verbalized V=IR (without saying resistance anywhere, since as far as I know, that term wasn't coined until later).

thread_title:  Someone who knows about Ohm's life should check this article. 

message: The article states that Ohm's family was Protestant. The early 20th century writer and Fellow of the Royal Society Bertram Windle states that Ohm was probably Catholic: http://www.archive.org/stream/twelvecatholicme00windrich#page/74/mode/2up
Can someone more familiar with his life provide a reliable contemporary source for his religious beliefs?Akasseb (talk) 07:12, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

message: When Georg Ohm was born in 1789 Erlangen was a part of the Principiality of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, which had nothing to do with Bavaria. Erlangen did not become part of the Kingdom of Bavaria until 1810, when Ohm was already in his twenties.
The following statements have to be changed accordingly:
"Georg Simon Ohm was born into a Protestant family in Erlangen, Bavaria" is false. Bavaria has to be exchanged with Brandenburg-Bayreuth.
The article also states under his portrait that he was born in "Erlangen, Electorate of Bavaria", which is also false, since Erlangen has never been part of the Electorate of Bavaria, it was only part of the Principiality of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (and after 1810 obviously of the Kingdom of Bavaria, not the Electorate).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:7C0:409:40E4:4878:C5C2:34D6:EC89 (talk) 09:47, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The scientist's name is spelt as "Georg Simon Ohm" throughout the entirety of the Wikipedia page, and I believe that this is the correct spelling of his name. However, I noticed that the picture featured on the Wikipedia page has the scientist's name spelt as "George Simon Ohm" in its description. Whilst "Georg" is the Northern European version of the anglicised version of the name "George", I do not think both versions of the name should be used for his name in the same document, for reasons of continuity. I will be changing the picture's description to keep the spelling of his name constant throughout the document. I would be interested in other people's thoughts, and anyone's views about why both spelling should be included. SMargan (talk) 03:05, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
