Preferably with a multimeter. For amps you hook it up in series, for volts you hook it up in parallell. For Ohms, you'll need to have the item you want to measure separated fron the circuit.

.01 amps equal how many volts?

Amps and volts are not the same, but related by Ohm's Law. Volts = Amps x Ohms. Ohms is a measure of resistance. Given .01 amps you would have to know resistance to calculate volts.


If voltage is 12 volts and ohms is 0.5 how many amps in circuit?

Ohm's law: Volts = Amps * Ohms, or Amps = Volts / Ohms 12 volts / 0.5 ohms = 24 amps


Formula for ohms law?

ohms=amps/volts Amps= volts/ohms Volts = Amps*Ohms


How do you find OHM?

Ohms can be found by using these formulas. Ohms = Volts/Amps, Ohms = (Volts (squared))/Watts, Ohms = Watts/(Amps (squared)).


What units of measure are used for voltagecurrentand resistance?

Respectively Volts V Amps A Ohms


How do you work out the current?

There are three formulas that you can use. Amps = Volts/Ohms Amps = Watts/Volts Amps = sq root of Watts/Ohms


How many amps are in ohms?

It's not that simple. The basic formula is Volts / Ohms = Amps. For 30 Volts you'd get 0.5 Amps, for 60 Volts you'd get 1 Amp, for 120 Volts you'd get 2 Amps.

How do you calculate ohms?

Very basically, simply divide the voltage by the amperage. Thsi is not for calculating Ohms of resistance, just Ohms. For example, a 9 volt battery that delivers 3 amps has 3 ohms. To calculate ohms of resistance we use the ohms law. This measures the difference in current flow in amps (amps/current is amount or volume of flow, volts is power pushing that current, sort of) and voltage. For instance, measure the amps and voltage at the source and record the ohms. Then record the same at the end point the difference in ohms is ohms of resistance. So, if we measure 10 volts and 2 amps at the source we have 5 ohms. at the end point we have 8 volts and 1 amp we have 8 ohms. therefore we have 13 ohms of resistance. 1 Determine current. Current is the flow of electricity measured in amps. For example a current has four amps in the circuit. 2 Determine voltage. Voltage is the difference in electrical potential from two points, measured in volts. For example, there is two-hundred volts in a circuit. 3 Divide voltage by current to calculate resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms. In the example, two-hundred volts divided by four amps equals fifty ohms. 4 To get ohms of resistance, measure the end point. at the endpoint we have 100 volts and 2 amps=50 ohms. therefore we have 100 ohms of resistance


If volts change then amps and ohms stay the same?

The ohms will usually stay the same unless the Amps are somehow effecting the temperature. The Amps will always change with the volts.


10 ohms plus 9 volts equals how many amps?

Ohm's Law: Voltage = Amperes times Resistance 9 volts = amps * 10 ohms amps = .9


A 240 volt single phase circuit has a resistive load of 8500 what is the net calculated current to supply this load?

Ohm's law: Volts = Amps * Ohms, or Amps = Volts / Ohms 240 volts / 8500 ohms = 28 milliamps
