Ohm's Law

1) R = V/I (at constant T)

V - Potential difference (voltage) between ends of conductor (volts)

I - current

(amperes)

Believe  or not, Georg Ohm was actually a high school physics teacher!

Cross Multiply:  V = IR

V directly related to I 

Since ....

R = V/I

Slope of V, I plot = ???
