According to Ohm's law, what is the relationship between the potential difference (V) and the current (I) in a conductor?

V is inversely proportional to I

V is independent of I

V is exponentially related to I

V is directly proportional to I (correct)

What is the formula that describes the relationship between the resistance (R), the length (L), the cross-sectional area (A), and the resistivity (ρ) of a conductor?

$R = \frac{L}{\rho A}$

$R = \frac{\rho L}{A}$ (correct)

$R = \frac{A}{\rho L}$

$R = \rho LA$
