How to calculate resistance from voltage and current
This calculator finds electrical resistance from voltage and current, using Ohm's Law.
How the calculation works
Resistance = Voltage ÷ Current.
Example
12V across a circuit drawing 3A: 12÷3 = 4Ω.

Pro Tips for Resistance From Voltage And Current
- This is a direct application of Ohm's Law (V=IR), solved for resistance.
- Use this to verify a component's actual resistance matches its rated specification, or to troubleshoot an unexpected circuit reading.
Common Resistance From Voltage And Current Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying this simple Ohm's Law relationship to a purely reactive AC circuit component (like a capacitor or inductor) without accounting for impedance, which behaves differently than simple resistance.
