Recall that Ohm's law is a fundamental principle in electrical circuits that relates three key physical quantities: voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R).
Ohm's law states that the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, with the constant of proportionality being the resistance.
Mathematically, Ohm's law is expressed as \(V = I \\times R\), where \(V\) is the voltage in volts, \(I\) is the current in amperes, and \(R\) is the resistance in ohms.
This relationship applies specifically to ohmic resistors, which have a constant resistance regardless of the voltage and current.
Therefore, the correct physical quantities described by Ohm's law are voltage, current, and resistance.
