Q: Did Ohm work as a school teacher at some point?
A: Yes, during part of his life, Ohm worked as a school teacher.
Q: What did Ohm's research focus on?
A: Ohm's research focused on the new electrochemical cell, invented by Italian scientist Alessandro Volta.
Q: What did Ohm discover about the relationship between potential difference and electric current?
A: Ohm found that there is a direct proportionality between the potential difference (voltage) applied across a conductor and the resultant electric current. This relationship is known as Ohm's law.
