Calculation setup

Results

Enter both values for the selected known pair to see a result.

Worked calculation

Enter valid values to see the worked calculation.

Formula

R = V ÷ I, P = V × I (selected)

I = V ÷ R, P = V² ÷ R

I = P ÷ V, R = V² ÷ P

V = I × R, P = I² × R

V = P ÷ I, R = P ÷ I²

V = √(P × R), I = √(P ÷ R)

Ohm's law and the power law together relate voltage (V), current (I), resistance (R) and power (P) for ideal DC resistive circuits.

Scope, assumptions and safety

For ideal DC resistive calculations only. Not for AC or reactive loads, mains installation design, cable sizing, protective-device selection, compliance work, or safety-critical decisions.

Never work on live circuits. Verify real-world results against measurements, component data and qualified professional advice.

Local processing

All calculations run locally in your browser. This tool does not upload or store the values you enter.

Assumptions and limitations

This tool is for ideal, steady-state DC resistive circuits only. It is not intended for AC or reactive loads, mains installation design, cable sizing, protective-device selection, compliance work or safety-critical decisions. Component tolerances, temperature effects, wiring resistance and non-ideal source behaviour are not modelled. Results are informational and should be independently checked for regulated, laboratory, engineering or safety-critical work.
