Question
Name the law which relates the current in a conductor to the potential difference across its ends.
Solution
Ohm's law gives the relationship between the current in a conductor and the potential difference across its ends. According to this law, at constant temperature, the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends.
