Did you know?

Georg Simon Ohm published V = I·R in 1827 but was dismissed by German universities for 15 years before his work was accepted.

§01What is

Understanding the Ohm’s Law Calculator

Ohm’s Law is the foundational rule of electrical circuits: voltage equals current times resistance. It lets you find any one of those three values when you know the other two.

Physics is the toolkit for turning a real-world observation into a prediction. Whether it’s a falling object, a moving car, or a stressed beam, the equations here are the same ones every engineer relies on. The Ohm’s Law Calculator sits in that toolkit — it V = IR. Enter your numbers above and the result updates instantly; every step of the math is shown in the Derivation panel so you can see exactly how the answer was reached.

§03Practical Example

Step-by-step walkthrough

Scenario

A circuit has 2 A current through a 5 Ω resistor.

  1. 01V = I × R = 2 × 5 = 10 V
  2. 02Power dissipated: P = V × I = 10 × 2 = 20 W
§04FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It applies instantaneously, but for AC you often work with impedance (Z) instead of plain resistance: V = I × Z.
