About Ohm\u2019s Law Calculator
Ohm\u2019s Law in plain English
Voltage pushes current through a resistance. V = I ร R. Doubling voltage on the same resistance doubles the current. Doubling resistance halves the current.
Power formulas
P = V ร I (always). For purely resistive loads: P = Iยฒ ร R = Vยฒ / R. AC adds power factor โ real watts vs apparent VA.
Real-world sanity check
A US wall outlet is 120 V. A 1500 W heater draws 1500/120 = 12.5 A. That\u2019s near the 15 A breaker limit, which is why hair-dryer + heater on the same circuit trips.
