Question
State the relation correlating the electric current flowing in a conductor and the voltage applied across it. Also, draw a graph to show this relationship.

Solution
The flow of current (I) in the conductor is directly proportional to the potential diffidence (V) established across it provided the physical conditions remain same.
V is directly proportional to I
V = IR This is called as Ohm’s law.
