Ohm's Law: Power

P = VI = I²R = V²/R

How to Use This Calculator

Provide any two of V, I, and R. The calculator uses the appropriate formula to compute power in watts.

Formula

P = VI = I²R = V²/R

Frequently Asked Questions

What about AC circuits?

For AC, use real power P = VI cosφ. These formulas assume DC or resistive loads.
