All currents flowing in a circuit follow ohm's law.

However, as soon as the current is not a DC current and/or the load is not =
a =

pure resistive value or changes with voltage, time, temperature or whatever=
 it =

becomes a bit more complex. To complicate matters even more, the load can h=
ave =

inductive or capacitive components which makes the current, voltage and =

resistance (or rather resitance + reactance) to change when the frequency i=
s =

changed. The current actually also becomes out of phase with the voltage.
