Question
How is electric current related to the potential difference across the terminals of a conductor?
Draw a labelled circuit diagram to verify this relationship.

Solution
V = IR, where V is potential difference, I is current and R is constant for a given resistor as its resistance. Hence, current I is directly proportional to V.
