Voltage Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes voltage based on electrical current (amps) and resistance (ohms) using Ohm's Law.
Purpose: It helps electricians, engineers, and students quickly determine voltage in electrical circuits.
The calculator uses Ohm's Law formula:
Where:
Explanation: Voltage equals the product of current flowing through a conductor and the resistance of that conductor.
Details: Accurate voltage calculation is essential for circuit design, troubleshooting electrical systems, and ensuring proper operation of electrical devices.
Tips: Enter the current in amps and resistance in ohms. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is Ohm's Law?
A: Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
Q2: What's a typical household current?
A: Most household circuits in the US carry 15-20 amps at 120 volts.
Q3: How do I measure resistance?
A: Use a multimeter set to ohms (Ω) to measure resistance when the circuit is powered off.
Q4: Can I calculate current if I know voltage and resistance?
A: Yes, using I = V/R. We have a separate Voltage to Amps calculator for this purpose.
Q5: Does this work for AC and DC circuits?
A: This calculator works for DC circuits. For AC circuits, impedance (Z) replaces resistance in the calculations.
