Ohm's Law Calculator

Uses voltage and resistance to estimate current and electrical power in a simple resistive circuit.

How it works

Uses voltage and resistance to estimate current and electrical power in a simple resistive circuit.

Formula and assumptions

Current = voltage ÷ resistance. Power = voltage² ÷ resistance. This assumes a positive resistance and a simple resistive load; real AC and reactive circuits may need RMS and power-factor calculations.

Example

Use the sample values, calculate, and change one input at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Are results exact? Results depend on the assumptions and inputs above.

Can I use this for professional decisions? Verify critical results independently.
