How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the power consumption of your device in watts (W) in the "Power (Watts)" field.
- Enter the voltage of your power source in volts (V) in the "Voltage (Volts)" field.
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute the current drawn by the device.
- The result will be displayed in the "Current (Amps)" field.
Calculator Formula
The calculator uses the formula:
I = P / V
Where:
- I = Current (measured in amps)
- P = Power (measured in watts)
- V = Voltage (measured in volts)
Example Usage
For example, if you have a device that consumes 60 watts of power and operates at 120 volts, the current drawn would be:
I = 60W / 120V = 0.5A
Applications
This calculator can be used for:
- Estimating the current draw of electrical appliances
- Designing electrical circuits and selecting appropriate wiring
- Ensuring that electrical devices are properly powered without overloading circuits
- Understanding power requirements for various electronic devices
