(a) The current through a conductor is proportional to the pd across it.
(b) Provided the temperature is kept constant the current through a conductor is proportional to the pd across it.
(c) Provided the temperature is kept constant the current through a metal conductor is proportional to the pd across it.
Each has its pros and cons. For example, (a) is a law more honour’d in the breach than the observance.
I'd be interested in opinions.
EDIT: I know what the Physics is. I'd like to know what people think is included in the statement of the law.
