Ohm's Law Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes voltage using Ohm's Law based on current and resistance values.
Purpose: It helps electrical engineers, technicians, and students determine voltage in electrical circuits.
The calculator uses Ohm's Law formula:
Where:
Explanation: The current multiplied by resistance gives the voltage drop across a circuit element.
Details: Proper voltage calculation ensures correct circuit design, component selection, and electrical safety.
Tips: Enter the current in amps and resistance in ohms. Both values must be > 0.
Q1: What if I know voltage and want to find current?
A: Rearrange the formula: \( I = \frac{V}{R} \)
Q2: What if I know voltage and want to find resistance?
A: Rearrange the formula: \( R = \frac{V}{I} \)
Q3: Does this work for AC circuits?
A: Yes, for purely resistive loads. For reactive components, use impedance instead of resistance.
Q4: What's a typical current for household circuits?
A: Most household circuits are 15-20 amps at 120 volts (North America).
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: Perfectly accurate for ideal conditions. Real-world factors like temperature may affect results.
