Quick Answer

Ohm's Law: V = I × R. Enter any two values to solve voltage, current, resistance, or power (P = V × I) for DC resistive circuits.

Ohms Calculator

Use this free ohms calculator to solve Ohm's law instantly: enter any two of voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) — the tool computes the third plus power (P) when relevant.

Quick start: Pick what you want to find (Voltage, Current, Resistance, or Power), enter the other two values, and read the result.

Ohms calculator formulas

VoltageV = I × R
CurrentI = V / R
ResistanceR = V / I
PowerP = V × I = I²R = V²/R

The Ohm's law triangle

Cover the value you want:

  • V covered → multiply I × R
  • I covered → divide V ÷ R
  • R covered → divide V ÷ I

Worked example

12 V supply, 470 Ω resistor:

  1. I = 12 / 470 = 25.5 mA
  2. P = 12 × 0.0255 = 0.31 W → use a 1/2 W resistor minimum

Unit tips

  • mA → A: divide by 1,000 (250 mA = 0.25 A)
  • kΩ → Ω: multiply by 1,000 (4.7 kΩ = 4700 Ω)
  • Engineering shorthand: 4k7 = 4700 Ω, 10u = 10 µA

Design Notes

Ohm's Law applies precisely to Ohmic materials where resistance remains constant regardless of current or voltage. In practical engineering, resistors heat up when dissipating power (P = I²R), which can alter their resistance (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance). Always verify that your calculated power dissipation is below the resistor's actual wattage rating (typically leave a 50% margin).

Common Mistakes

  • 1

    Mixing up units: Forgetting to convert milli-amps (mA) to Amps (A) before calculating.

  • 2

    Ignoring power dissipation: A 1/4W resistor will burn up if your calculation yields 0.5W, even if the resistance is correct.

  • 3

    Applying it to non-linear components: Ohm's law does not directly apply to diodes, LEDs, or transistors which have dynamic resistance.

Engineering Handbox

1. Identify knowns: V = 12, R = 470 2. Use Formula: I = V / R 3. Calculate: I = 12 / 470 = 0.02553 A (25.53 mA) 4. Calculate Power: P = 12 × 0.02553 = 0.306 W

VerificationCurrent is 25.53 mA and Power is 0.306 W (Requires a 1/2W resistor).

Knowledge Base

Quais são as 3 fórmulas da Lei de Ohm?

V = I × R (Tensão), I = V / R (Corrente) e R = V / I (Resistência). Rearranjos da relação descoberta por Georg Ohm em 1827.

Como uso o triângulo de Ohm?

Coloque V no topo, I embaixo à esquerda e R embaixo à direita. Tape a variável desejada: V → I×R, I → V÷R, R → V÷I.

Posso usar para corrente alternada (CA)?

Apenas para cargas puramente resistivas. Com capacitores ou indutores, substitua R por impedância Z = √(R²+X²).

Como calculo a potência?

P = V×I, P = I²×R ou P = V²/R. Escolha com base nas duas variáveis conhecidas.

Por que não funciona para LEDs?
