Ohm's law: History, Circuit analysis & Other versions

Ohm's law states that in a well-behaved conductor (a so-called ohmic conductor), the electric current between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (the difference of electric potential) across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance, one arrives at the following mathematical equation used to describe this…
