What are the applications of ohm's law used in daily life?

Ohm’s law states that voltage across a conductor is proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperature stays constant.

Applications of Ohm’s law in daily life

The speed of fans in our houses can be regulated by shifting the regulator too and fro. The current flowing through the fan is managed by controlling the resistance through the regulator. The resistance, current, and power can therefore be calculated by Ohm’s law for any input value.
Electric kettles and irons contain a lot of resistors that restrict the flow of current through them to produce heat. The size of resistors can be defined by Ohm’s law.
Electrical heaters contain a metal coil of high resistance allowing a specific amount of current to pass through to provide the heat. The power of heaters can be determined through Ohm’s law.

Consider a cylindrical conductor of length $ l $ and area of cross-section $ A $. Current $ I $ is maintained in the conductor and electrons drift with velocity $ \vec{v}_d \, (|\vec{v}_d| = \frac{eE}{m} \tau) $, where symbols have their usual meanings. Show that the conductivity of the material of the conductor is given by \[ \sigma = \frac{n e^2 \tau}{m}. \]

Capacitors are manufactured with certain standard capacitances and working voltages. However, these standard values may not be the ones that are actually needed in a particular application. Two or more capacitors can be grouped in series or in parallel to achieve desired capacitance and voltage. When connected in series, the total capacitance decreases while the voltage rating increases, whereas in parallel connections, the total capacitance increases and maintains the same voltage rating. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between its plates and stored energy is proportional to the square of the voltage and capacitance $U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$, where symbols have their usual meanings.
Two capacitors, one of $3 \ \mu$F and the other of $6 \ \mu$F, are connected in series in the circuit as shown in the figure, for a long time. }
