Every electric circuit follows one simple rule:
Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R).
	•	Voltage (V): The “push” that moves electrons through a wire — like water pressure in a hose.
	•	Current (I): The flow rate of electrons, measured in amperes (A).
	•	Resistance (R): How much a material resists that flow, measured in ohms (Ω).

When voltage increases, current rises — unless resistance increases to slow it down.
That’s why thin wires heat up faster and why your phone charger needs precise resistors.

Real-world examples:
⚡ Turning up a lab power supply → more voltage → more current → brighter LED.
💡 Long extension cord → more resistance → dimmer light or slower charge.
🎧 Headphones rated for higher impedance need more voltage to reach the same loudness.

Ohm’s Law in design:
Engineers use it constantly to size components, predict power draw, and prevent overheating.
It’s also how we check if a circuit is safe — the math behind every fuse and circuit breaker.

Try this:
If your circuit has 9 V and a 3 Ω resistor, what’s the current?
👉 (I = V/R = 3 A).
Now imagine doubling resistance — current drops to 1.5 A.
That’s the essence of control in electronics.
