        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. |
