Ohm's Law definition

Current ∝ voltage at constant temp for metal conductor

Ohm's Law equation

I=VRI = \frac{V}{R}

Ohm's Law rearranged for voltage

V=IRV = IR

Current (I) definition

Rate at which electric charge flows, measured in amperes (A)

Voltage (V) definition

Energy per unit charge to move it, measured in volts (V)

Resistance (R) definition

Difficulty pushing current through, measured in ohms (Ω)

I-V graph shape for ohmic conductor

Straight line through origin

Gradient of I-V graph equals

1R\frac{1}{R} or ΔIΔV\frac{\Delta I}{\Delta V}
