Ohms to Amps Calculator

Calculate Current (Amps) from Resistance (Ohms) and Voltage (Volts)



Formula

To calculate the Current (I):

\[ I = \frac{V}{R} \]

Where:

What is Ohms to Amps?

Ohms to Amps is a conversion process used in electrical calculations to determine the current flow, measured in amperes (Amps), in a circuit when the resistance, measured in ohms (Ω), is known. This conversion is based on Ohm's Law, which states that the current passing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them. Therefore, to convert ohms to amps, the voltage across the circuit is also needed.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ I = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ Amps} \]

The Current is 2 Amps.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ I = \frac{24}{12} = 2 \text{ Amps} \]

The Current is 2 Amps.
