Enter any two valid values.

Input Parameters Specification

VoltageElectrical potential difference in volts.
CurrentElectric current in A or mA.
ResistanceElectrical resistance in Ω, kΩ, MΩ or GΩ.
PowerElectrical power in watts.

Practical Operational Examples

LED Circuit

Enter voltage and current to calculate resistance and power for resistor sizing.

Power Check

Enter voltage and resistance to find circuit current and wattage load.

Diagrams & Theory

These two colorful original SVG diagrams show the Ohm’s Law triangle and a simple resistor circuit.

V I R V = I R V I R I = V/R V I R R = V/I + Ampere(A)=Current(I) + Resistance (R) + Volt(V)

Formulas & Mathematical Logic

V = I × R
P = V × I
R = V / I
I = V / R

Step-by-Step Example

Example: Voltage = 12V and Resistance = 1kΩ.
Convert 1kΩ to 1000Ω.
Current = V / R = 12 / 1000 = 0.012A.
Power = V × I = 12 × 0.012 = 0.144W.

About This Calculator

Calculate voltage, current, resistance and power using Ohm’s Law.

This calculator solves the missing electrical values when any two values are known.

Ohm’s Law is one of the most important formulas in electronics and electrical work. It connects voltage, current and resistance, while power formulas help estimate heat and load rating. This calculator is useful for resistor sizing, LED circuits, power dissipation checks, sensor circuits, battery-powered projects and general electronics troubleshooting.

VoltageElectrical pressure that pushes current.
CurrentFlow of electric charge in the circuit.
ResistanceOpposition to current flow.
PowerEnergy converted per second, often as heat.
Tip: When calculating resistor wattage, choose a resistor rating higher than the calculated power for safe operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ohm’s Law?

Ohm’s Law states that voltage equals current multiplied by resistance.

Can I enter only two values?

Yes. Enter any two valid values and the calculator fills the remaining values.

Why are units important?

Using mA instead of A or kΩ instead of Ω changes the numeric scale, so unit selection matters.

What is power in Ohm’s Law?

Power is the rate of electrical energy conversion, calculated in watts.

Can this help select resistor wattage?

Yes. The calculated power helps choose a safe resistor wattage rating.

What happens if I enter more than two values?

The calculator uses the first matching formula path based on available values.

Is this calculator for DC only?

It is best for basic DC and resistive AC calculations.
