Ohm's law equation is a powerful predictor of the relationship between potential difference, current and resistance. The predominant equation which pervades the study of electric circuits is the equation V=I•R The Ohm's law equation can be rearranged and expressed as

The table below illustrates this relationship both qualitatively and quantitatively for several circuits with varying battery voltages and resistances. Battery
