    Frequently asked questions

    What is Ohm's law?▾

    Ohm's law says voltage equals current times resistance: V = I × R. Combined with the power formula P = V × I, any two of voltage, current, resistance and power determine the other two.

    How do I calculate current from voltage and resistance?▾

    Divide voltage by resistance: I = V ÷ R. For 12 V across 220 Ω, I = 12 ÷ 220 = 54.5 mA, and the resistor dissipates P = V² ÷ R = 0.655 W.

    How do I choose a resistor for an LED?▾

    R = (supply voltage − LED forward voltage) ÷ LED current. For a 5 V supply, a 2 V red LED and 20 mA: (5 − 2) ÷ 0.02 = 150 Ω. Enter 3 V and 20 mA here to get the same result and the power rating.

    How many amps is 1000 watts?▾

    Current = power ÷ voltage: about 8.3 A at 120 V or 4.3 A at 230 V.
