Ohm's law is a fundamental principle in electrical engineering and physics that describes the relationship between the voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. It states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them. In other words, the mathematical expression for Ohm's law is:
V = IR
where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance.
This means that if you increase the voltage across a conductor while keeping the resistance constant, the current through the conductor will increase proportionally. Conversely, if you increase the resistance while keeping the voltage constant, the current will decrease proportionally. Ohm's law is commonly used to calculate the current flowing through a circuit, given the voltage and resistance, or to calculate the resistance of a component given the voltage and current.
