Georg Ohm WIP Claimed by Raghav Gupta

The Main Idea

Georg Ohm was a German who worked to discover a relationship between the potential difference across a resistor and the current. This was named after him, called Ohm's Law

A Mathematical Model

Ohm had a simple equation. His equation can be modeled as [math]\displaystyle{ {ΔV} = {I}{R} }[/math] where ΔV is the total potential drop across a resistor (measured in volts), I is the current across a particular resistor (measured in amps) and R is the resistance of the resistor across which current is travelling (measured in ohms).
