How do you find the resistance in Ohm's law?

According to Ohm’s law, the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current that flows through it, provided the temperature and physical conditions remain constant.

Mathematically, Ohm’s law can be denoted as:

V = IR
In order to find the resistance, the formula can be rewritten as:

$R = {V \over I}$
