Ohm's Law

The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance — explained simply, calculated instantly.

V = I × R
V Voltage (Volts) I Current (Amps) R Resistance (Ohms)

What is Ohm's Law?

Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.

Voltage
V = I × R

Find voltage by multiplying current and resistance.

Current
I = V ÷ R

Find current by dividing voltage by resistance.

Resistance
R = V ÷ I

Find resistance by dividing voltage by current.
