Ohm's law defines the relationship between the voltage, current, and resistance in an electric circuit: I = V / R. The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.
where I is the current through the conductor in units of amperes, V is the voltage measured across the conductor in units of volts, and R is the resistance of the conductor in units of ohms. More specifically, Ohm's law states that the R in this relation is constant, independent of the current.
