Quick answer

V = I x R, and P = V x I.

V = IR, P = VI

How to use the Ohm's Law Calculator

  1. 1Enter the current flowing through the circuit.

Frequently asked questions

What if I know voltage and resistance instead?

Rearrange as I = V/R; this tool takes current and resistance as inputs since they set voltage and power directly.

What is Ohm's law used for?

It underlies almost all basic circuit design and troubleshooting for resistive loads.
