Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor is proportional to the voltage across the conductor. This is true for many materials (including metals) provided the temperature (and other physical factors) remain constant. The constant of proportionality, R,R is the resistance and the unit is the ohm, with symbol \Omega,Ω. The relationship can be written as:

V, equals, I, R.

V=IR

where V,V is the voltage across the conductor and I,I is the current flowing through it. If a component is ohmic (it obeys Ohm's Law), then its resistance must be independent of current and voltage.

Answer:

Statement:

The electric current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends provided temperature and other physical conditions remain constant.

Explanation:

Current is directly proportional to voltage loss through a resistor. That is, if the current doubles, then so does the voltage. To make a current flow through a resistance there must be a voltage across that resistance. Ohm's Law shows the relationship between the voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R).

V∝I or I∝V⇒V=IR.
