Ohm's Law Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the voltage in an electrical circuit using Ohm's Law based on current and resistance values.
Purpose: It helps electricians, engineers, and electronics enthusiasts determine the voltage across a circuit element when current and resistance are known.
The calculator uses Ohm's Law formula:
Where:
Explanation: The voltage across a circuit element is equal to the current flowing through it multiplied by its resistance.
Details: Proper voltage calculation ensures safe circuit design, proper component selection, and troubleshooting of electrical systems.
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: Current should be in amperes (A), resistance in ohms (Ω), and the result will be in volts (V).
Q3: Does this work for AC and DC circuits?
A: This calculator works for DC circuits. For AC circuits with reactive components, additional factors must be considered.
Q4: What if I get zero or negative values?
A: The calculator only accepts positive values as current and resistance cannot be negative in this context.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but real-world factors like temperature and material properties may affect actual circuit behavior.
