How to Convert Kilowatts to Ohms
👋 Curious about how power in kilowatts relates to resistance in ohms? Let’s break it down! 🚀
Kilowatts to Ohms Formulas ✨
To calculate resistance (R) in ohms based on power (P) in kilowatts, you can use one of the following formulas:
If Voltage (V) is Known:
R = V² / PIf Current (I) is Known:
R = P / I²Quick Trick: Use the formula that corresponds to the known value (Voltage or Current)!
Understanding the Conversion
To calculate resistance in ohms from power in kilowatts, you need either the voltage or the current:
- If you know the voltage (V), use: R = V² / P
- If you know the current (I), use: R = P / I²
Simply input the known values and use the appropriate formula to calculate the resistance.
Let’s Solve One Together! 📝
Imagine you have the following measurements:
- 🔍 Power entered: 5 kW
- ⚖️ Voltage entered: 400 V
Here’s how we figure it out:
1️⃣ Applying Formula:
Formula: R = V² / P
Calculation: R = (400 V)² / (5 kW × 1000) = 160,000 / 5000 = 32 Ω
🎉 Answer: 32 ohms
