Step 1 of 9
How to Use This Calculator
- Select the calculator mode: Ohm's Law, Voltage Drop, Resistor Color Code, or Series/Parallel.
- For Ohm's Law: enter two of voltage (V), current (A), and resistance (R) to find the third.
- For Voltage Drop: enter source voltage, current, wire length, and AWG to find the drop.
- For Color Code: select band colors to decode resistor value and tolerance.
- Review results and use in circuit design, troubleshooting, or electrical coursework.
