The equation you are looking for, R = E/I, is derived from the definition of the ohm, not from Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law is properly-called 'Ohm's Law of Constant Proportionality', which states that, for certain (linear) loads, the ratio of voltage to current is constant for changes in voltage. The above equation applies whether Ohm's Law does or does not.

Resistance is a measure of how well current flows through the material. As such, voltage divided by current in amps results in resistance

What happens to the current in a device if the resistance of the device increases and the voltage difference stays the same?

If resistance increases and voltage stays the same, then current decreases. Ohm's Law: Current equals Voltage divided by Resistance.

Is current a measure of the flow electrons through a circuit?

I believe so. It is also equal to power divided by voltage, as well as voltage divided by resistance.


How does voltage and resistance behave in a series and a parallel circuit?

The current through each resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance for series and parallel circuits.


What does power divided by speed equal?

Ohm so correctly said: Voltage divided by current equals resistance. Voltage divided by current will tell you the value of a circuit's resistance. But resistance is not affected by either voltage or current. It is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity (type of conducting material) of the conductor. Resistivity is, in turn, affected by temperature. So voltage divided by current tells you what the resistance happens to be - changes in voltage or current do not affect resistance.


Does voltage divided by watts equal the current?

Electric power is not defined as current divided by voltage. Electric power (Watts) is equal to amps times voltage


The statement, current is equal to the voltage difference divided by the resistance, is known as?

Ohm's Law. It is usually written as V = I x R or in words Voltage is equal to Current times Resistance; or in your terms I = V / R.


Is current the voltage multiplied by resistance?

No. V =Voltage, I =current, and R =resistancein the simple equation: V=I*R. As well, V/I=R, and. V/R=Iso Current is voltage divided by resistance


What is current is equal to the voltage difference by the resistance?

Ohm's Law: Current is voltage divided by resistance.Alternative AnswerIf, by 'statement', you are referring to a 'law', then there is no electrical law that states that 'current is voltage divided by resistance'.The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is derived from the definition of the ohm, which is defined in terms of a volt per ampere, which can be manipulated to say that 'current is equal to voltage divided by resistance'.This is frequently, but incorrectly, described as being 'Ohm's Law', but Ohm's Law isn't universal and it only applies to a very limited range of linear (or 'ohmic') loads, whereas 'resistance is voltage divided by current' applies to allloads (linear or non-linear) at any given value of voltage.
