    I= Current (measured in amps)
    E= Electromotive Force (measured in volts)    
    R= Resistance (measured in Ohms)
    E=I*R (Voltage = Amps * Resistance)
    I=E/R (Amps = Voltage / Resistance)
    R=I/E (Resistance = Amps / Voltage)

    Unknown  
    Unknown Current
    Suppose we have a voltage across a circuit of 10Vdc and a total resistance of 127k and current is unknown then you would do the following:
    10Vdc/127k ohms = 10/127,000= 78.7 µ amps.

    This means if you had a voltage across the resistor of 10v and 127k ohms of total resistance then the total current flowing through the circuit is 78.8 µ amps or 0.000078 amps.


    Unknown Voltage
    Now lets suppose that we have a circuit with a total resistance of 5k ohms and a known current amount of 42 mili amps. The formula for finding voltage would be as follows:
    42m amps *5k ohms = 0.042/5000=210volts

    Unknown resistance
    In this final example we have a voltage source of 15vdc and a current flow of 34µ amps, the following formula would be:
    15vdc/34µ amps =15/0.000034 = 441176.470 ohms or 441k ohms.
