Introducing the constant of

arrives at the usual mathematical
equation that describes this
relationship:
where I is the current through the
conductor in units of amperes. The
rate of the flow of electricity is the
current. The ammeter is the
instrument used to measure current.
V is the voltage measured across the
conductor in units of volts. The
