        No.  You need the force law and a picture of electrons bouncing
along.  In fact, Ohm's law cannot be quantitatively derived from classical
physics.  Start with the Feynman lectures and come back for more detailed
help.

        Probably not, but I have no idea which phenomena you want to
explain?

 If so, has anybody experience teaching that topic=

worse.)"
