How to Convert Ohms to Watts
👋 Curious about how resistance in ohms relates to power in watts? Let’s break it down! 🚀
Ohms to Watts Formulas ✨
To calculate power (P) in watts based on resistance (R) in ohms, you can use one of the following formulas:
If Voltage (V) is Known:
P = V² / RIf Current (I) is Known:
P = I² × RQuick Trick: Use the formula that corresponds to the known value (Voltage or Current)!
Understanding the Conversion
To calculate power in watts from resistance in ohms, you need either the voltage or the current:
- If you know the voltage (V), use: P = V² / R
- If you know the current (I), use: P = I² × R
Simply input the known values and use the appropriate formula to calculate the power.
Let’s Solve One Together! 📝
Imagine you have the following measurements:
- 🔍 Voltage entered: 12 V
- ⚖️ Resistance entered: 4 Ω
Here’s how we figure it out:
1️⃣ Applying Formula:
Formula: P = V² / R
Calculation: P = (12 V)² / 4 Ω = 144 / 4 = 36 W
🎉 Answer: 36 watts
