Learn how to use the Potential Difference Calculator Understanding Electrical Potential calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the current (I) in amps in the "Current (I) (Amps)" field.
  2. Enter the resistance (R) in ohms in the "Resistance (R) (Ohms)" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the potential difference (voltage).
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Potential Difference (V) (Volts)" field.

Working Principle

The potential difference (voltage) across two points in an electrical circuit can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states that the voltage (V) is equal to the current (I) multiplied by the resistance (R). The formula is V = I × R.

Applications

This calculator is useful for electrical engineers, students, and anyone working with electrical circuits to determine the voltage drop across resistors or other components in a circuit.
