Calculate Voltage Loss



Formula

The formula to calculate the voltage loss is:

\[ V_{loss} = I \times R \]

What is Voltage Loss?

Voltage loss, also known as voltage drop, refers to the reduction in voltage as electric current flows through the components and conductors of an electrical circuit. It is caused by the resistance or impedance of the conductive path. High voltage loss can lead to inefficient circuit operation and can be critical in long runs of cable or in circuits with high current flow. Understanding and calculating voltage loss is essential for designing effective electrical systems.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ V_{loss} = 5 \times 2 = 10 \text{ V} \]

The Voltage Loss is 10 V.
