This Ohm's Law calculator works like this:
- You enter any 2 values from the 3:
Voltage (V).
Current (I).
Resistance (R). - Then hit the CALCULATE button.
- The calculator will find the missing 3rd value for you automatically.
Examples:
Example 1:
- Voltage = 12V
- Current = 2A
Then Resistance = 12 / 2 = 6 ohms
Example 2:
- Resistance = 100 ohms
- Current = 0.05A
Then Voltage = 100 × 0.05 = 5V
Example 3:
- Voltage = 9V
- Resistance = 3 ohms
Then Current = 9 / 3 = 3A

Ohm's Law Calculator
Ohms Law is the most basic law of electronics. It connects the 3 main things in any electrical circuit:
- V = Voltage (in volts)
- I = Current (in amps)
- R = Resistance (in ohms)
The relation is very simple like this:
V = I × R
That means:
- Voltage is equal to Current times Resistance
- If you increase resistance, current goes down
- If you increase voltage, current goes up
You can also rearrange it like this:
I = V / R
R = V / I
Notes:
- You must enter exactly two values, not one, not all three.
- If you enter only one then it will give error.
- If you enter all three then it will use only the first two that are valid.
- Work for DC circuits or any static value.
Need to make variable DC power supply 0 -100 v current 2 amps. With coarce snd fine addjustments for voltage with 3 1/2 digit meters for both volt and current
If you use a linear approach, there will be a lot of heat dissipation. Better to use a transformer based design.
A linear design is shown below:

you can upgrade it to 100V by replacing the power transistors accordingly, and by changing R3 to 10K 1 watt
Hi Swatagam, could you please explain to me in detail the formula, resistance in parallel. I understand how to calculate for two resistors in parallel but don’t know how to calculate for more then two, beyond many textbooks just stating the formula as 1\R1+ R2+R3+R4…. Please detail this concept of reciprocals. P.s. I’m a hobbyist.
Thank you very much for caring and sharing such a wonderful site. P.s. I’m a hobbyist.
Thank you moboy, It is actually very basic, here’s the formula for calculating resistors in parallel:
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3….1/Rn
