From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines the voltage in an electrical circuit based on current and resistance using Ohm's Law.
Purpose: It helps electricians, engineers, and electronics enthusiasts calculate voltage when current and resistance are known.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it and its resistance.
Details: Accurate voltage calculation is essential for circuit design, troubleshooting electrical systems, and ensuring proper operation of electronic components.
Tips: Enter the current in amperes 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 units should I use?
A: Use amperes (A) for current, ohms (Ω) for resistance, and the result will be in volts (V).
Q3: Does this work for AC and DC circuits?
A: This calculator works for DC circuits and AC circuits with purely resistive loads.
Q4: What if I know voltage and want to find current or resistance?
A: Use our other calculators: Current Calculator (I = V/R) or Resistance Calculator (R = V/I).
Q5: Why is my calculated voltage different from my multimeter reading?
A: Real-world factors like wire resistance, temperature effects, and component tolerances can cause differences.
