> Potential?

Let's get some clarity here.  Georg Simon Ohm was no piker.  He relished his 
electrolytes, they taught him much about electrical **resistance**.  He also 
knew about "volts," which is the force, pressure, or **potential 
difference**, as you like it, named after Count Alessandro Volta, that 
propels electrons from one place to another with an **intensity** of flow, 
in "amperes," named after Andre Marie Ampere.  Now when the three fellows 
got together over a bit of grog after one of those powdered wig scientific 
conventions George was the arm wrestling winner and that's why we refer to 
the three interdependencies as "Ohm's Law."  Got it?

hard also in his dealings with men.
We can judge the heart of a man by
his treatment of animals.
