Ohm’s law calculator

Ohm’s law links voltage U (volts), current I (amperes) and resistance R (ohms). With any two of them you can find the third and the dissipated power P (watts). Enter the values you know.

Enter two values, the third is computed.

Voltage U
240 V
Current I
12 A
Resistance R
20 Ω
Power P
2880 W

Indicative result: always verify against the standards and the installation method on site.

Formula

U = R × I · P = U × I = R × I²

Good to know

  • Valid for DC and, in AC, for a purely resistive load.
  • For a motor or an inductive load, use the motor current calculator (cos φ).
