The Ohm's Law Calculator is a useful tool for quickly determining the voltage, current, power, and resistance in an electrical circuit. By entering any two of these values, users can instantly calculate the other variables according to Ohm's Law.
Understanding Ohm's Law
Ohm's Law, formulated by Bavarian physicist Georg Simon Ohm in 1827, establishes a fundamental relationship between current (I), voltage (V), resistance (R), and power (P). Specifically, it states that the current flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across it and inversely proportional to the resistance.The formula derived from this law is:Ohm’s Law Formula:Where:
- is the current in Amperes (A)
- is the voltage in Volts (V)
- is the resistance in Ohms (Ω)
Using the Calculator
To find current or any other variable, simply input two known values into the calculator. The tool will handle all calculations efficiently, providing results in a matter of seconds. It supports various SI units, ensuring ease of use.Key Equations
