Power From Resistance Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Power From Resistance (P) is:

\[ P = \frac{V^2}{Re} \]

Where:

Power From Resistance (P): The power dissipated by a resistor in an electrical circuit.
Significance: Used to determine the power consumption and efficiency of electrical components and systems.

Let's say the circuit voltage (V) is 12 volts and the equivalent resistance (Re) is 6 ohms. Using the formula:

\[ P = \frac{12^2}{6} = 24 \]

So, the Power From Resistance (P) is 24 watts.
