How it works

A walkthrough, end to end.

  1. 1

    Enter any two of voltage (V), current (A), resistance (Ω), or power (W).

  2. 2

    The calculator returns the other two using V = IR and P = VI.

  3. 3

    Useful for circuits, LEDs, and electronics homework.

Reference

Ohm's law and power

V = I × R. P = V × I = I² × R = V² / R. The calculator solves for the missing pair.

Use cases

FAQ

Frequently asked.

  • Yes — for AC use peak/RMS appropriately. Power factor isn't included here.

  • Volts (V), amps (A), ohms (Ω), watts (W).

  • No. All math runs in your browser.

  • This calculator handles purely resistive loads.
