Ohm's law states that the electric current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its two ends, when other physical conditions like temperature etc., remain constant.

Thus, the ratio V:I is a constant. This constant is called the resistance (R) of the conductor. Circuit diagram for Ohm's law :If a graph is drawn between the potential difference (V) and current (I), the graph is found to be a straight line passing through the origin. This shows that the current is directly proportional to the potential difference. Thus, the ratio ‌

remains constant. This constant is called the resistance of the conductor. The gradient of the straight line graph is related to the resistance (R) of the conductor.
