ABSTRACT

Ohm’s law states that the potential difference across any element is directly proportional to the current carried by it, if the physical conditions (temperature, dimensions, etc.) remain unchanged.

R is a constant of proportionality and is called the resistance of an element. R may be represented in terms of element length (l), area of the cross-section (A), and resistivity of the element (ρ).
