V = IR

What each symbol means

SymbolWhat it stands for
ISteady current through the conductor (A)
RResistance of the conductor (Ω)
VPotential difference across the conductor (V)

When to use this

Valid for ohmic materials at constant temperature; linear V–I. For non-linear devices (diode, bulb hot), R is not constant.
