About this calculator

Ohm's law (V = IR) is the foundational electrical equation. Combined with P = IV, you can express any of voltage, current, resistance, or power in terms of any two of the others. The classic "wheel" of formulas: V = IR, V = P/I, V = √(PR); I = V/R, I = P/V, I = √(P/R); R = V/I, R = V²/P, R = P/I²; P = IV, P = I²R, P = V²/R.

Frequently asked

What are the units?+
Volts (V), Amperes (A), Ohms (Ω), Watts (W). All SI.
Why are there 12 formulas in the wheel?+
Because each of V, I, R, P can be expressed in terms of any two of the other three. 4 quantities × 3 pairs = 12 formulas.
Does Ohm's law work for AC?+
For pure resistance yes. For impedance (R + reactive components like capacitors and inductors), use the AC version with complex impedance Z.
When does Ohm's law not apply?+
For non-linear devices like diodes, transistors, and gas-discharge lamps where current is not proportional to voltage.
How is power calculated?+
P = IV (current × voltage). Equivalent forms via Ohm's law: P = I²R = V²/R.
