Newton's laws of motion describe the relationship between an object and the forces acting on it.
First law: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Second law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reactio...
Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it and inversely proportional to the resistance.
