The relationship between voltage (V), the current (I) and resistance (R) in a d.c. circuit was first discovered by German scientist George Simon *Ohm. This relationship is called Ohm’s law and may be stated as under :
The ratio of potential difference (V) between the ends of a conductor to the current (I)flowing between them is constant, provided the physical conditions (e.g. temperature etc.) do not change i.e. V/I = Constant = R
Simply;-Ohm's law states that the electrical current (I) flowing in an circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Therefore, if the voltage is increased, the current will increase provided the resistance of the circuit does not change.
