Resistance Calculator

Calculate resistance from voltage and current using Ohm's Law (R = V ÷ I).

Formula

R = V ÷ I

R
Resistance, in ohms
V
Voltage, in volts
I
Current, in amps

What this calculator does

Solves for resistance given voltage and current, using Ohm's Law.

Use cases

  • Find the resistance of a load from a voltage and current reading
  • Troubleshoot a circuit by comparing measured vs. expected resistance
  • Verify a component's resistance against its rated value
