Voltage Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines the voltage based on power in watts and current in amps using Ohm's Law.
Purpose: It helps electrical engineers, technicians, and hobbyists calculate voltage when power and current are known.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The power (in watts) is divided by the current (in amps) to calculate the voltage.
Details: Proper voltage calculation is essential for circuit design, electrical safety, and ensuring components operate within their specified ratings.
Tips: Enter the power in watts and current in amps. Both values must be > 0.
Q1: What if I know voltage and want to find power?
A: Use \( P = V \times I \). Multiply voltage by current to get power in watts.
Q2: Is this calculation valid for both AC and DC?
A: For DC circuits, yes. For AC, this gives RMS voltage when using RMS current and real power.
Q3: What's a typical current for household appliances?
A: Most household devices draw 1-15 amps at 120V (US) or 230V (Europe).
Q4: How does this relate to Ohm's Law?
A: This is a variation of Ohm's Law when power is known instead of resistance.
Q5: Can I use this for three-phase systems?
A: For three-phase, use \( V = \frac{P}{\sqrt{3} \times I \times pf} \) where pf is power factor.
