Ohm's law: V = IR

Change the current and the resistance and watch the voltage update, with the V–I graph of a resistor that obeys Ohm's law.

Questions students ask

Does every component obey Ohm's law?

No. A resistor at constant temperature does, giving a straight line through the origin. A filament lamp heats up and its resistance rises; a diode only conducts one way.

What formula does it use?

V = IR: voltage (volts) = current (amps) × resistance (ohms).
