Ohm’s law & electrical power

Solves the electrical circuit using Ohm’s law (V = I × R) and DC power formulas (P = V × I = I² × R = V² / R) — enter exactly two of four quantities and leave the other two blank.

V
DC power: P = V × I = I² × R = V² ÷ R. Enter power from device nameplate to calculate current or resistance.
