 RELATIONSHIPS AND LAWS - OHM'S LAW

George Simon Ohm proved the preceding basic formulas in the early part of the 19th century.

Through experimentation, he showed that precise relationships exist between current, voltage, and resistance. This relationship is now called Ohm's law and is simply stated as follows:

“The current in a circuit is DIRECTLY proportional to the applied voltage and INVERSELY proportional to the circuit resistance.”

Ohm's law may also be expressed as an equation, as shown here.
