As a high school teacher, Ohm began his research with the new electrochemical cell, invented by Italian scientist Alessandro Volta. Using equipment of his own creation, Ohm found that there is a direct proportionality between the potential difference (voltage) applied across a conductor and the resultant electric current. This relationship is known as Ohm's law. (info from Wikipedia) What would the resistance be for a resistor with the following colour bands: orange, blue, red? Ohm’s Law states that the current through a conductor is proportional to the voltage across it provide that temperature doesn’t change. Voltage = Resistance x Current V=IxR
