Frequently asked questions

What is Ohm's Law?

Ohm's Law is the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. The basic formula is voltage equals current multiplied by resistance.

How do I calculate current from voltage and resistance?

Divide voltage by resistance. For example, a 12 volt circuit with 6 ohms of resistance has 2 amps of current.

How do I calculate resistance from voltage and current?

Divide voltage by current. For example, a 12 volt circuit drawing 2 amps has 6 ohms of resistance.

Can this calculator be used for AC circuits?

It can provide a basic AC estimate, but real AC circuits may also involve power factor, impedance, frequency, inductance, and capacitance.
