Anika is conducting an experiment in her physics lab to understand the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. She recalls Ohm's Law, which states that the voltage (V) across a conductor is directly proportional to the current (I) flowing through it, with resistance (R) being the constant of proportionality. What is Ohm's Law and its formula?
V = I * R
V = R / I
I = V + R
R = V - I
Kavya is working on a project where she needs to determine the resistance in an electrical circuit. She remembers that she can use Ohm's Law to calculate it. How does she calculate resistance in the circuit using Ohm's Law?
