Ohm to Volt Calculator
Calculate voltage (Volts) from resistance (Ohms) and current (Amps).
How to Convert Ohms to Volts
To convert ohms to volts, you can use Ohm’s Law, which relates voltage, current, and resistance.
Ohm’s Law Formula
Quick Trick: Voltage (Volts) = Current (Amperes) × Resistance (Ohms)!
Understand the Conversion
Ohms and volts are key units in electrical circuits. Ohm’s Law helps you calculate voltage when resistance and current are known.
For example, if you have 5 ohms and 2 amperes, you can find the voltage using Ohm’s Law.
The units for each variable are as follows:
- 1 V = 1 Ampere × 1 Ohm
Example
Imagine you have the following measurements:
- Resistance: 5 Ω
- Current: 2 A
Here’s how we figure it out:
1. Use Ohm’s Law: V = I × R
2. Put in Resistance = 5 Ω and Current = 2 A
3. Calculate V = 2 × 5
4. V = 10 V
Answer: 10 Volts
What Do These Terms Really Mean?
Volt (V) – The Basic Unit of Voltage
Volts measure electrical potential difference. Here’s what you need to know:
- Used to measure electrical potential difference.
- 1 Volt moves 1 Ampere against 1 Ohm resistance.
Ohm (Ω) – The Unit of Resistance
Ohms measure electrical resistance. Here’s what you need to know:
- Resistance opposes the flow of current.
- Higher resistance means less current flow for a given voltage.
