Ohm's Law

---

• "The ratio of the potential difference between the ends of a conductor and the current flowing in the conductor is a constant"

• R (ohms) = V (volts) _/ I (current)

• Rearranged as I = V _/ R it demonstrates that a consequence of higher voltage is that a higher current will flow.

• Ohm's Law is a scientific fact that cannot be repealed by Act of Parliament, or summarily by Regulation.

• Ohm's Law is generally applicable to DC and AC circuits where the appliance, or "load" has a primary electrical characteristic of resistance (also called impedance in AC circuits).
