Calculate voltage, current, resistance, and power using Ohm's Law and power formulas. Essential for electrical work and circuit analysis.
ā¹ļø What is Electrical Calculator?
An electrical calculator applies fundamental electrical laws ā Ohm's Law, Watt's Law, and Kirchhoff's Laws ā to compute voltage, current, resistance, and power in circuits. It is used by electricians, engineers, students, and hobbyists for sizing wires, fuses, and components.
š Formula
āļø Worked Example
- 1Current: I = V / R = 120 / 60 = 2 A
- 2Power: P = V Ć I = 120 Ć 2 = 240 W
- 3Check: P = IĀ²R = 4 Ć 60 = 240 W ā
š” How to Interpret Results
- āøIf current Ć resistance drops across all components sum to supply voltage (Kirchhoff's Voltage Law).
- āøHigher resistance means lower current for the same voltage ā useful for limiting current to LEDs and components.
- āøPower dissipated as heat in a resistor: higher I and higher R both increase heat (P = IĀ²R).
- āøFor AC circuits, use impedance (Z) instead of pure resistance for power factor corrections.
- āøAlways verify wire gauge can handle the calculated current ā undersized wire overheats and is a fire hazard.
