How It Works

Ohm's Law:  V = I x R

Power:  P = V x I  (and also P = I²R or V²/R, depending on what you know)

Plug in any two of V, I, R, and P; the tool solves for the other two.

Example

120 V and 10 A: R = 120/10 = 12 ohms, P = 120 x 10 = 1200 W.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I enter all four values?

You can. It will solve from the first two it finds. If you fill all four, it just shows what you entered.

Does this apply to AC circuits?

Yes for resistive loads (heaters, incandescent). For motors and other reactive loads, you need impedance (Z) instead of R.
