False. Ohm's law, unlike Newton's law, is NOT a fundamental law of nature. Instead, it's a property displayed by some materials.

Some materials obey Ohm's law (example, copper, iron and conductors) while others don't (non conductors).

You can also compare Newton's law of Gravity with Ohm's law.

Every matter (object) is able to cause gravity. There is no exception to this rule.

However, not every object obeys Ohm's law.

'''Ohm's law states''' that the current through a '''conductor''' between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them , at a constant temperature. This is believed to hold through by i would imagine all in the scientific community. Despite some minor statistical variations it is accepted as true.

Also electricity is a natural phenomenon (lightening, static)

(Ohm specifies conductors, he doesnt include non-conductors)

note - in non conductors current will flow given a high enough voltage, however it wont be proportional.
