  1. Given, in base units

    V=12 V,R=6 ΩV = 12\ \mathrm{V},\quad R = 6\ \mathrm{\Omega}
  2. Find I

  3. Find P

    P=V2R=(12)26=24 WP = \frac{V^2}{R} = \frac{(12)^2}{6} = 24\ \mathrm{W}
  4. Check

    Ohm's law holds for ohmic conductors (resistance independent of current); diodes, lamps and LEDs are not ohmic.

Tentang Ohm's law calculator

Ohm's law says the current through a resistor equals the voltage across it divided by its resistance, I = V/R. Combined with the power law P = VI, any two of voltage, current, resistance and power fix the other two: P = I²R and P = V²/R follow by substitution. Solved values are shown in the unit you choose, so a milliamp current does not appear as 0.002 A.

The default, 12 V across 6 Ω, gives 2 A and 24 W. The same arithmetic sizes fuses and cables (a 2,300 W kettle on 230 V draws 10 A) and checks resistor ratings (a 100 Ω, ¼ W resistor carries at most 50 mA).

The law holds for ohmic conductors, whose resistance stays constant as the current changes. Diodes, LEDs and filament lamps are not ohmic, so a single resistance value describes them only at one operating point.

Pertanyaan

How do you calculate current from voltage and resistance?

Divide the voltage by the resistance: I = V/R. With 12 V across 6 Ω the current is 2 A; with 5 V across 1 kΩ it is 0.005 A, or 5 mA. Convert kilohms to ohms (×1,000) before dividing, or pick kΩ and mA in the unit selectors and let the calculator convert.

How do you convert watts to amps?

Divide the power by the voltage: I = P/V. A 2,300 W kettle on a 230 V supply draws 10 A, and a 60 W load on 12 V draws 5 A. For AC this holds for resistive loads such as heaters and kettles; motors and power supplies with a power factor below 1 draw more current than P/V.

What is the formula for electrical power?

P = VI, which becomes P = I²R or P = V²/R once Ohm's law is substituted. A 100 Ω resistor with 5 V across it dissipates 5²/100 = 0.25 W, exactly the limit of a ¼ W part, so a 0.5 W resistor is the safer choice there.

Does Ohm's law apply to LEDs and light bulbs?

Not with a single fixed resistance. An LED conducts almost nothing below its forward voltage (about 2 V for red, about 3 V for blue and white) and then current rises steeply, so it needs a series resistor. A filament lamp's resistance rises as the tungsten heats, so the V²/P value, 882 Ω for a 60 W, 230 V bulb, applies only when it is lit.

What is conductance?

Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, G = 1/R, measured in siemens (S). A 6 Ω resistor has a conductance of 1/6 ≈ 0.167 S. Conductances in parallel add directly, which is why it is convenient for parallel networks: 1/R_total = G₁ + G₂ + …

Seberapa akurat “Ohm's law calculator”?

Akurasi bergantung pada masukan dan asumsi metode. Aritmetika desimal memakai 50 digit signifikan, tetapi perkiraan, metode numerik dan data sumber bisa kurang presisi; pembulatan yang ditampilkan tidak menghilangkan batasan itu. Contoh penyelesaian yang diperiksa dengan sumber independen: 6. Misalnya, “12 V across 6 Ω” diperiksa dengan Python 3.8 decimal: I = 12/6, P = 12²/6.
