Rick,

 In addition to Jon's comments, I would like to add that in the classic
 form of the equation, ie E = I x R that the 'E' represents "Electromotive
 Force", 'I' represents "Intensity" of the current flowing, and of course
 'R' represents "resistance".   Just an FYI.

                                        Regards,

                                          Jim
