From: | To: |
Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, with resistance being the constant of proportionality. The formula is V = I × R.
The calculator uses the Ohm's Law equation:
Where:
Explanation: For a constant current of 10 amps, the voltage is calculated by multiplying the current (10A) with the resistance value.
Details: Calculating voltage is essential for designing electrical circuits, selecting appropriate components, and ensuring safe operation of electrical systems.
Tips: Enter the resistance value in ohms (Ω). The value must be greater than 0. The calculator will compute the voltage for a fixed current of 10 amps.
Q1: Why use 10 amps specifically?
A: This calculator is designed for scenarios where the current is fixed at 10 amps, which is common in many industrial and high-power applications.
Q2: What are typical voltage values for 10 amps?
A: The voltage depends entirely on the resistance. For example, with 5Ω resistance, voltage would be 50V (10A × 5Ω).
Q3: Can I use this for AC circuits?
A: This calculates DC voltage. For AC, you would need to consider power factor and other AC-specific parameters.
Q4: What if my resistance is very low?
A: With 10A current, even small resistances can produce significant voltage. Be cautious with very low resistances as they may cause high current flow.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise for ideal conditions. Real-world factors like temperature effects on resistance may affect actual results.
