Lesson: Chapter 19 — Current Electricity

19.4. Ohm's law 3 of 7

Question 3

Which of these states Ohm’s law correctly?

The right answer is the one marked above.

At constant temperature, the current is directly proportional to the potential difference. Ohm’s law is a proportionality between I and V, and it holds only while the conductor’s temperature is constant.

Leaving out the temperature condition makes the statement incomplete. It is not a caution attached to the law — it is inside it.
