Power Dissipation Calculator

Calculate Power Dissipation



Formula

The formula to calculate Power Dissipation (P) is:

\[ P = I^2 \times R \]

Where:

Power Dissipation Definition

Power dissipation is a measure of the total reduction in power that occurs because of a system’s resistance to flow.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate Power Dissipation (P):

\[ P = 2^2 \times 5 = 4 \times 5 = 20 \text{ W} \]

The Power Dissipation is 20 watts.
