Electrical Calculator

Calculate voltage, current, resistance, and power using Ohm's Law. Estimate energy usage in kWh and electricity cost per device.

Quick Answer

An electrical calculator uses Ohm's Law and power equations to calculate voltage, current, resistance, watts, energy usage, and electricity cost.

Enter any two values — the calculator will solve for the third.

Electrical Formulas

Ohm's Law: V = I × R Power: P = V × I = I² × R = V² / R Energy: E (kWh) = P (W) × t (h) / 1000 Cost: Cost = kWh × rate per kWh Where: V = Voltage (volts) I = Current (amps) R = Resistance (ohms) P = Power (watts)
