Potential Voltage Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the potential voltage (Vp) is:

\[ Vp = IC \times RC \]

Where:

\( Vp \) is the potential voltage (volts).
\( IC \) is the circuit current (A).
\( RC \) is the circuit resistance (Ohms).

What is Potential Voltage?

Potential voltage is the voltage across a component in a circuit, calculated by multiplying the current flowing through the circuit by the resistance of the component. This is a fundamental concept in electrical engineering and physics.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Circuit Current (IC): 5 A
Circuit Resistance (RC): 10 Ohms

Using the formula to calculate the potential voltage:

\[ Vp = 5 \times 10 = 50 \text{ V} \]

This means that the potential voltage for this example is 50 volts.
