Hi Ratch,

It is not as simple as all that. E = Ri has been called "Ohm's" law

as far back as my reference library goes, which is 1907. I cannot
verify, but I would presume that the origin of the the alleged misuse
goes even further back.

A friend of mine took an electronics class at a local JC, and he learned
"Ohm's Three Laws": E=IR, I=E/R, and R = E/I.

And the misnomer propagates on, and on, and on .... Ratch
