Ohm’s Law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across it, provided the temperature remains constant.
Mathematically, it is expressed as: V = I × R
Given Data
- Potential Difference (V) = 10 V
- Current (I) = 0.1 A
R = V\over I = 10\over 0.1 = 100 Ω
