the principle that the electric current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it, provided that the temperature remains constant. The constant of proportionality is the resistance of the conductor
Ohm's law in American English
Electricity
a law which states that the current in a DC circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance
Word origin

noun
(Electrical engineering: Circuits, Electrical power, Computing and control)
Ohm's law is a law that states that the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through the resistance.
Ohm's law is named for German physicist Georg Ohm (1789-1854).
A simple formula, Ohm's law, is used to show the relationship of current, voltage, and resistance.
We can calculate, using Ohm's law, what resistor is needed to get a specific current.
