Frequently asked questions
What is Ohm's Law?
Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, with resistance as the constant of proportionality: V = I × R. It applies to most metallic conductors at constant temperature.
What is the difference between AC and DC for this formula?
Ohm's Law applies directly to DC circuits. For AC circuits, you use impedance (Z) instead of resistance (R), and the formula becomes V = I × Z. Impedance includes reactance from capacitors and inductors.
How is power calculated from voltage and resistance?
P = V² / R. Alternatively, P = I² × R. These are derived by substituting V = IR into P = VI.

The four Ohm's Law equations
From the base formula V = IR you can derive three others: I = V/R (current); R = V/I (resistance); P = VI = I²R = V²/R (power). Together these four equations let you solve any combination of known and unknown electrical quantities.
Practical applications
Ohm's Law is used to select the correct resistor value in LED circuits, calculate fuse ratings, design voltage dividers, and troubleshoot short circuits. When a measured current is much higher than expected, resistance has dropped — a common sign of a faulty component or short circuit.
