Resistor Voltage Calculator

Formula

To calculate the resistor voltage:

\[ RV = TR \times TI \]

Where:

\(\text{RV}\) is the Resistor Voltage (Volts)
\(\text{TR}\) is the Total Resistance (Ohms)
\(\text{TI}\) is the Total Current (Amps)

Resistor Voltage

The resistor voltage is the electrical potential difference across a resistor when a current flows through it. This is determined by Ohm's Law, which states that the voltage drop across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it and the resistance of the resistor. Understanding how to calculate resistor voltage is fundamental in designing and analyzing electrical circuits.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Resistance (\(TR\)) = 10 Ohms
Total Current (\(TI\)) = 2 Amps

Using the formula:

\[ RV = 10 \times 2 = 20 \text{ Volts} \]

The resistor voltage is 20 Volts.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Resistance (\(TR\)) = 5 Ohms
Total Current (\(TI\)) = 0.5 Amps

Using the formula:

\[ RV = 5 \times 0.5 = 2.5 \text{ Volts} \]

The resistor voltage is 2.5 Volts.
