Basic formulas calculating resistance, current, voltage, and power-
where:

  • V= voltage (Measured in Volts)
  • I= current (Measured in Amperes)
  • R= resistance (Measured in Ohms)
  • P= power (Measured in Watts)

Ohm's Law <math>V=I*R</math>
Power Law <math>P=V*I</math>
<math>P=(I^2)*R</math>
<math>P=(V^2)/R</math>

  • note 2 values must be given to find unknown
