How to use it

  1. Choose the operation when available and enter your own values in the labelled fields.
  2. Check the units and the limits explained below before interpreting the answer.
  3. Read the result and its details. Copy it or download a result card; no account is required.

Examples

  • Worked example

    12 V across 6 Ω gives 2 A and 24 W.

  • Another case

    0.5 A through 100 Ω requires 50 V and dissipates 25 W.

Questions

What does this tool calculate?

Solve voltage, current or resistance for an ideal DC resistor. Supply the other two quantities and also see the calculated power.

Which inputs and units should I use?

Use positive DC magnitudes in volts, amperes and ohms. This ideal-resistor model does not handle AC impedance, component ratings or electrical installation safety.

Can I check a worked example?

12 V across 6 Ω gives 2 A and 24 W.

Are my input values uploaded or stored?

No. The calculation runs in this browser. Typed values are not sent to analytics, placed in the page URL or saved by the calculator. Copying or downloading is an action you choose.

Do I need an account or a paid plan?

No. The calculation, example, result copy and result card are available without registration. VISU services are an optional next step.
