How are voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) related?

The relationship between Voltage, Current and Resistance forms the basis of Ohm’s law. In a linear circuit of fixed resistance, if we increase the voltage, the current goes up, and similarly, if we decrease the voltage, the current goes down. This means that if the voltage is high the current is high, and if the voltage is low the current is low.

Voltage, current, and Resistance are put together into an equation such as

V = IR.
