Which of the following is the correct relation of Ohm's law?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
In 1827, a German physicist Georg Simon Ohm (1787–1854) found out the relationship between the current I, flowing in a metallic wire and the potential difference across its terminals.
The potential difference, V, across the ends of a given metallic wire in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided its temperature remains the same. This is called Ohm’s law.
In other words
V ∝ I
or V/I = constant = R
or V = IR
According to Ohm’s law, R = \(\frac{V}{I}\)
or I = \(\frac{V}{R}\)
