Timeline for In Ohm's Law, why do we not take the constant of proportionality as $\dfrac{1}{R}$?

Apr 29, 2020 at 14:19 | comment | added | Rajdeep Sindhu | I didn't get a bit offended. I was just making it clear :). Also, please check out my comment on the original post about magnitudes having units. | |
Apr 29, 2020 at 14:17 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | @Rajdeep_Sindhu Yeah sorry I wasn't trying to say you were. I was just speaking in general from my experience in tutoring. | |
Apr 29, 2020 at 14:13 | comment | added | Rajdeep Sindhu | And as I said, I know my arguments were stupid and childish. Also, I'm no beginner to algebra too. :) | |

Apr 29, 2020 at 14:08 | comment | added | Rajdeep Sindhu | Thanks! I just realized how stupid my arguments were. And by the way, when I said fractions, I was actually referring to proper fractions ($0 < x < 1$ or $\dfrac{p}{q}$, where $p < q$) | |

Apr 29, 2020 at 14:02 | comment | added | Rajdeep Sindhu | Let's say that you are George Ohm, and you notice a relationship between current and voltage. How would you decide which constant to call resistance and which one to call conductance? This is probably a silly question | |
