Is V directly proportional to I (From V=IR)??

Or is V inversely proportional to I (From P=IV) ???

First of all, I is proportional V according to the Ohm's Law. R is merely a constant you need to obtain an equation. However, it is true that R changes with temperature and pressure, therefore Ohm's Law is only applicable in an invariable environment. Also this constant R is different for different materials.

So, do not get confused.

Ohm's law is not a universal law, please remember that as well. Some materials do not follow it and we call them non-ohmic conductors. I hope I helped! ^-^
