Voltage drop is represented by the formula E=I*R
Seems to me if the current flow is zero, then the voltage would be zero
as well.


IIRC, it's I squared R. Of course, it's still no voltage drop with no
current. Is it possible there's a confused poster here, who has R and
thinks it's E.


(I^2)R is the power drop. The voltage drop is IR

And no, it's not about a simple mistake, Diesel doesn't understand
Ohm's Law and electricity 101.


Power drop?

If there is such a thing in this context, which I doubt, it probably
requires current too.
