Ohm’s Law Calculator

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.

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

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
