Ohm's Law Formula – V = IR Explained

Ohm's Law is the most fundamental equation in electrical engineering: V = I × R. It states that the voltage across a conductor equals the current flowing through it multiplied by its resistance. From this one equation, you can derive all three variables, plus calculate electrical power. This page covers all forms of Ohm's Law, the power formulas derived from it, and worked examples.
