This tool will calculate the voltage based on the current and resistance you input.
How to Use the Voltage Calculator
Enter any two of the values: voltage, current, or resistance. Click “Calculate” to get the missing parameter.
How It Works
The calculator uses Ohm’s Law which states:
- Voltage (V) = Current (I) * Resistance (R)
- Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R)
- Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)
The script validates the inputs and performs the corresponding calculations.
Limitations
This calculator requires at least two of the three parameters to perform calculations. Ensure that inputs are numeric and valid.
