Ohms Law defines the relationship between Voltage, Current and Resistance - as described in detail by this article. The tool on this page allows you to enter two known vaules and then calculate the third.
  • E (or V) = Voltage
  • I = Current
  • R = Resistance
This calculator is based on the following simple equation:

Which therefore means the following conditions are also true:

In electric circuits, power is a function of both voltage and current:

Using algebra again to manipulate the formulae, we can take our original power formula and modify it for applications where we don't know both voltage and current:
If we only know voltage (E) and resistance (R):

If we only know current (I) and resistance (R):
