What is Ohms Law Calculator?
Applies Ohm’s fundamental law (V = I × R) and Joule’s law (P = V × I) to calculate resistance, power dissipation, voltage drop, and amperage.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter voltage and current.
- Instantly review calculated resistance in Ohms and power dissipation in Watts.
The Mathematical Formula & Variables
R = V / I; Power = V * I
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: 120V supply drawing 10A current.
- Resistance = 120 / 10 = 12.00 Ohms (Ω).
- Power = 120 * 10 = 1,200 Watts (1.20 kW).
Result: R = 12 Ω | P = 1,200 W
