What is Ohm's Law?

Ohm’s Law (E = IR) is a formula used to calculate the relationship between voltage, current and resistance in an electrical circuit.

The full forumal is E = I x R where E = Volts, I=current (in amps), and R=resistance. This is also sometimes annoted as voltage = current x resistance, or volts = amps x ohms, or V = A x Ω.
