Ohm's Law

The physicist George Ohm described in 1827 measurements of applied voltage and current passing through electrical circuits containing various length of wire.

Ohm’s law states that the current (I) passing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R).

The mathematical equation for this relationship is: I= V / R

It is an extremely useful equation not just in the field of industrial heating applications.
