Turning waste into watts: Students from
Benguet State University (BSU) invented a
biogas digester that converts food waste into
methane gas, which can then be used to
generate electricity. This project not only
provides a clean and renewable energy
source but also helps manage waste in the
community.
Flood Warning System: Students from the
University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD)
developed a flood warning system that uses
series circuits to detect rising water levels
and trigger an alarm. This innovation helps
communities prepare for and mitigate flood
risks.

• It establishes the
relationship between
voltage (V), current (I),
and resistance (R) in an
electrical circuit.
• The law states that the
current flowing through a
conductor between two
points is directly
proportional to the voltage
across the two points and
inversely proportional to
the resistance.
• is a measure of the electric
potential difference
between two points in an
electrical circuit.
• Voltage is measured in
volts (V) and is essential
for the flow of current in a
circuit.
• Current, often represented
by the symbol I, is the flow
of electric charge through
a conductor in an electrical
circuit. It is the rate at
which electric charges
(typically electrons) move
past a specific point in the
circuit.
• Resistance, denoted by the
symbol R, is a measure of
how much a material or
component opposes the
flow of electric current
through it.
V = I x R, where:
• V represents voltage in
volts (V)
