Answer
Ohm's law states that the current (
I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (
V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (
R) of the conductor. This can be mathematically expressed as:
I=RV
or alternatively,
V=I⋅R
This relationship holds true as long as the temperature and physical conditions of the conductor remain constant.
