Ohm's Law Resistance Calculator

Determine electrical resistance using voltage divided by current. Enter voltage and current and press Calculate.

Ideal calculation; real components have tolerances and reactance.

Examples

  • 10 V / 2 A ⇒ 5 Ω
  • 5 V / 0.5 A ⇒ 10 Ω
  • 12 V / 3 A ⇒ 4 Ω

FAQ

What if current is zero?

Resistance becomes undefined; current must be nonzero.

What unit is the result?

Ohms (Ω).

Does this apply to AC and DC?

It represents ideal conditions; real circuits may differ.

Document resistance with ampere context

Pair these results with the ampere base unit explainer and the ISO 80000-6 guide to show auditors and teammates how current, voltage, and resistance stay linked to the SI definition.
