what is the ohms law ?

Because of commutativity (look that up), the two equations are equivalent. Before getting electrically involved with Ohm's law it would be to your benefit to understand the mathematics involved. In particular, the distributive and commutative laws of multiplication.

If you really want to learn something, understand why these mathematical laws apply to complex numbers. After that, look into situations which which commutativity is not true.

when talking about voltage drop in a conductor, if you want to be understood by the majority you will refer to I*R as the IR drop.

isn't you being naughty?

E = I times R is the original Ohm's law.

Wrong!

TOFU retard! Learn to refrain from top posting in Usenet, IDIOT!

Ohm's Law is:

The amount of current flowing in a circuit made up of pure resistances is directly proportional to the electromotive forces impressed on the circuit and inversely proportional to the total resistance of the circuit.

THAT is the "original Ohm's Law!

So? E=IR is equivalent to I=E/R or R=E/I Same thing written different ways.

Ohm just stated a linear (constant R) relationship between E and I Why complicate it with differences that don't exist?

im too old for naughty.

I think you need to get away from behind your computer and mix with some real people again. your Interpersonal skills are on a sharp decline.

Both are correct for ohms law. (assuming V = voltage, I = current, and R = resistance)

And unless "R" has direction, both will give the same answer.

If R has direction, then the magnitude will be the same, but the direction of the voltage will reverse as R reverses.

(resistance rarely has direction)

your syllogism has a faulty assumption of IR = RI. Therefore your conclusion is in error.

I x R = - R x I

and Ir = rI.

Therefore, V=IR = -RI and V = Ir = rI

You certainly can end with that conclusion.
