# Ohm's Law
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The relationship between [current](), [voltage](), and [resistance]() is defined by Ohm's Law:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> The current flowing from one point to another is equal to the voltage accross these points divided by the resistance between them.
|

$$
|
|
|
|
|
I = \frac{V}{R}
|
|
|
|
|
$$

|
As an application, consider a circuit with a 9V battery with a 10,000 $\Omega$ resistor attached across its terminals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The current flowing through the resistor can be calculated as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$$
|
|
|
|
|
\frac{9V} {10,000\Omega} = 0.0009 \textsf{A} (0.9 \textsf{mA})
|
|
|
|
|
