If you ask engineers what is Ohm's law, they will say E = iR,

Only because they learned it that way. If you explained the
misnomer,
then what would they say?

....they'd say you're a pain in the butt. You belong to the same category
as the ones that always have to say that RS232 is about voltage levels
and has nothing to do with serial ports. Strictly that is correct, but
at the the same time the *entire* world uses the term when referring
to typical serial ports such as COM1 and COM2 on your PC.

E = I * R. Ohm's Law. Always has been, and always will be.
