Ohm's law defines the relationship between the voltage, current, and resistance in an electric circuit: I = V / R. The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.
Resistance, or impedance, decreases electrical current per Ohm's law. Ohm's law gives current as a ratio of voltage to resistance: 1 volt flowing through 1 ohm of resistance produces 1 ampere of current. Resistance is the property of an object, and resistivity is the property of the substance of which the object is made. Continue Reading. Resistivity varies between materials.
