Ohms law involves 3 variables - Voltage (\(E\), for Electromotive force) Resistance (\(R\)), and Current (\(I\)). In a recent webcast, Gordon West suggested a simple method for remembering their order. He suggests that you think of \(E\) as an Eagle, \(I\) as an Igloo, and \(R\) as a Rabbit.
Any time \(E\) is on the left side, \(I\) and \(R\) are on the right side; the Igloo and the Rabbit are both on the ground, so they go next to each other (multiplication, or \(E=I\times R\)). If \(E\) is on the right side, then the Eagle is always on top (in the air). So Resistance is \(\frac{E}{I}\), because the Eagle is always above the Igloo. Current (\(I\)) is \(\frac{E}{R}\), because the eagle is always above the Rabbit. (Remember that \(\frac{E}{R}\) means \(E\) divided by \(R\))
This might help you remember the formulae for Ohms Law.

\(E = I \times R\)
\(R = \frac{E}{I}\) \(=\) \(\frac{12}{1.5}\) = \(8\) ohms

\(E = I \times R\)
\(I = \frac{E}{R} = \frac{120}{80} = 1.5 \text{ amperes}\)

Voltage = Current \(\times\) Resistance
Which we can write as: \[E = I \times R\]
Where:
Time to plug and chug! \begin{align} I &= \frac{200 \text{ V}}{100\ \Omega}\\ I &= 2 \text{ A}\\ \end{align}

\(E = I \times R\)
\(I = \frac{E}{R} = \frac{240}{24} = 10\) amperes

This is an Ohm's law question. Remember
\(E = I \times R\)
\(E = 0.5 \text{ A} \times 2\ \Omega = 1 \text{ V}\)

Ohm's Law is the relationship between voltage, current, and the resistance in a DC circuit. It can be represented in the equation:
\(E = I \times R\)
Where \(E\) is the voltage/electromotive force (\(E\)), \(I\) is the current (\(A\)), and \(R\) is the resistance (Ω).
If you have any two values in the equation you can find the third:
So for our equation:
\(E = I \times R = 10Ω \times 1A = 10V\)

Series is correct. In series current is the same through all components.
In the animation below, the amount of voltage is indicated by the darkness of the green, and the current is represented by the "walking ant" animation.
The voltage is not the same everywhere in this series but the current is!
Easy way to remember the difference between series and parallel, is parallel is like train tracks they run side by side. Series is like a movie series, one episode after another.
Hint: "If Current is the Same in all components" It is Series.

Notice the green is the same across all components. There is full source voltage on one side and no voltage on the other, but voltage is the same across all components because they're in parallel.
