  This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's impossible to get a clear,
straight, understandable answer from anybody.

  I = U/R has no "maximum". If you increase 'U', 'I' will increase likewise,
when 'R' stays the same. The relationship is linear. There's no "maximum".
There's no point after which when you keep increasing 'U' but 'I' doesn't
increase because it has reached some magical "maximum".

  If 'U' is 1 volt, then 'I' will be 1V/R. If 'U' is one billion volts, then
'I' will be 1 billion volts / R. There is not magical "maximum".
