Ohm's Law Formula:
V: Voltage (V)
I: Current (A)
R: Resistance (Ω)
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes voltage based on current and resistance using Ohm's Law.
Purpose: It helps electrical engineers, technicians, and students determine voltage in DC circuits.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The current multiplied by resistance gives the voltage drop across a component.
Details: Ohm's Law is fundamental for circuit design, troubleshooting, and understanding electrical relationships.
Tips: Enter the current in amperes and resistance in ohms. Both values must be > 0.
Q1: Does this work for AC circuits?
A: Only for purely resistive loads in AC. For reactive components, impedance must be considered.
Q2: What's a typical current value?
A: Common circuit currents range from milliamps (0.001A) to several amps in household circuits.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's theoretically exact for ideal resistors at constant temperature.
Q4: Can I calculate power with this?
A: Not directly, but power (P) can be calculated as P = V × I using the results.
Q5: What if I know voltage and want current?
A: Rearrange the formula: I = V/R. We can add this functionality in future versions.
