Calculate Source Voltage (Vs)





Formula

The formula to calculate the Source Voltage (Vs) is:

\[ Vs = R \times I + Vd \]

What is Source Voltage?

The source voltage is the total voltage provided by a power source in an electrical circuit. It is calculated by multiplying the resistance by the current and then adding the voltage drop. This value is essential for understanding the overall voltage requirements and performance of an electrical system.

Example

Let's say the resistance (R) is 10 ohms, the current (I) is 2 amps, and the voltage drop (Vd) is 5 volts. Using the formula:

\[ Vs = 10 \times 2 + 5 = 25 \]

So, the source voltage (Vs) is 25 volts.
