Ohm's Law, an important law of electricity which shows the relation of the current, the resistance to the current and the electromotive force. It states that the strength of the current increases and decreases with the electromotive force, but varies inversely as the resistance. In mathematical form the current in amperes is equal to the electromotive force in volts divided by the resistance in ohms. This law was first stated by Professor Ohm of the University of Munich.
