Features
How to Use the Ohm's Law Calculator
- Enter two known values. Type any two values — voltage, current, resistance, or power. Select the appropriate unit from the dropdown.
- Get instant results. The remaining two values are calculated automatically using Ohm's Law and the power equation.
- Use presets for common scenarios. Click a preset button to load typical values for USB chargers, LED strips, car circuits, and more.
FAQ
What is Ohm's Law?
Ohm's Law states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R): V = I × R. Combined with the power equation (P = V × I), you can calculate any electrical quantity from two known values.
What formulas does this calculator use?
It uses all 12 combinations of Ohm's Law and the power equation: V=IR, I=V/R, R=V/I, P=VI, P=I²R, P=V²/R, and their rearrangements.
What units are supported?
Voltage: mV, V, kV. Current: µA, mA, A. Resistance: Ω, kΩ, MΩ. Power: mW, W, kW. The calculator auto-converts between them.
Why does my wire heat up?
Power (P = I²R) is dissipated as heat. Higher current or resistance means more heat. The calculator shows a visual warning when power exceeds safe levels for typical components.
Can I use this for AC circuits?
This calculator is for DC circuits. For AC, you need to account for impedance (not just resistance), power factor, and reactive power. A dedicated AC calculator would be needed.
