Fact 1
As a high school teacher, Ohm began his research with the new electrochemical cell, invented by Italian scientist Alessandro Volta.
Fact 2
Using equipment of his own creation, Ohm found that there is a direct proportionality between the potential difference (voltage) applied across a conductor and the resultant electric current. This relationship is known as Ohm's law.
Fact 3
