No - for starters you have to know TWO variables before you can use the
formula.

And for finishers, you have to need to know the remaining third.  If
what you need to know is right there on the meter display, you aren't
using the formula.

If you want to know the current, and you read the resistance and know
the voltage, then you are using ohms law.  But most people would simply
measure the current, unless it would be difficult to do so.

If you look at the meter, see 2 ohms, and decide that given the length
of the wire runs that's reasonable - YOU ARE NOT USING OHMS LAW.
