Understanding Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

Formulas

Voltage (V)
V = I × R
V = P / I
V = √(P × R)
Current (I)
I = V / R
I = P / V
I = √(P / R)
Resistance (R)
R = V / I
R = V² / P
R = P / I²
Power (P)
P = V × I
P = I² × R
P = V² / R

Ohm's Law Triangle

A popular way to remember the formula is the triangle method, where V is at the top, and I and R are at the bottom.

  • To find V, cover V: You see I × R
  • To find I, cover I: You see V / R
  • To find R, cover R: You see V / I
