Ohm's Law is named after Georg Simon Ohm who did some of the earliest quantitative analysis of electricity. Some of his experimentation showed that current through wires of various types is proportional to the voltage across those wires and it is this relationship that is the foundation of Ohm's Law. Mathematically, Ohm's Law can be expressed as
I = V/R, V = IR, or R = V/I
In this episode of 60 Second Circuits, I explain a bit about the early work by Ohm and the form of Ohm's law now.
