Ohm's Law (V = I × R) describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. The power formula (P = V × I) calculates the electrical power consumed or produced in a circuit.
The calculator uses the fundamental electrical formulas:
Where:
Explanation: Enter any two known values and the calculator will compute the remaining unknown values using these fundamental electrical relationships.
Details: Accurate electrical calculations are essential for circuit design, component selection, power management, and ensuring electrical safety in various applications.
Tips: Enter any two known values (voltage, current, resistance, or power) and the calculator will automatically compute the missing values. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is the difference between AC and DC calculations?
A: These formulas work for both AC and DC circuits, though for AC circuits with reactive components, additional factors like power factor need to be considered.
Q2: How accurate are these calculations?
A: The calculations are mathematically precise based on the input values. Real-world accuracy depends on the precision of your measurements.
Q3: Can I calculate power in three-phase systems?
A: For three-phase systems, additional factors like phase angle and power factor need to be considered beyond these basic formulas.
Q4: What are typical units for these measurements?
A: Voltage in volts (V), current in amperes (A), resistance in ohms (Ω), and power in watts (W).
Q5: How do I measure these values in a circuit?
A: Use a multimeter to measure voltage and resistance, and a clamp meter or multimeter with current measurement capability to measure current.
