Voltage Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines the voltage in an electrical circuit based on the power and current values.
Purpose: It helps electricians, engineers, and electronics enthusiasts calculate voltage when power and current are known.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The power is divided by the current to determine the voltage in the circuit.
Details: Proper voltage calculation ensures electrical components receive the correct voltage, prevents damage to equipment, and helps in circuit design.
Tips: Enter the power in watts and current in amps. Both values must be greater than 0.
Q1: What units should I use for the inputs?
A: Power should be in watts and current in amps for accurate voltage calculation in volts.
Q2: Can this calculator be used for AC circuits?
A: This formula works for DC circuits. For AC circuits, power factor must be considered.
Q3: What if I know voltage and want to find power or current?
A: You can rearrange the formula: \( P = V \times I \) or \( I = \frac{P}{V} \).
Q4: What's a typical household circuit voltage?
A: In most countries, standard household voltage is either 120V or 230V.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but real-world factors like resistance and power factor may affect actual voltage.
