You have two known values: P and R. Recall the formula for Power:

Power (watts) = I2 R

Basic algebra will help convert the power equation to solve for current:

Step 1: P/R=I2

Step 2: SQRT(P/R)=I

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


How to calculate amps in a circuit?

To calculate amps in a circuit, use the formula: Amps Volts / Ohms. This formula helps determine the current flowing through a circuit based on the voltage and resistance present.


How many amps would it take to kick a 15 amp breaker with 7 ohms resistance on a 277 volt circuit?

A 15 amp circuit breaker should trip at 15 amps regardless of the load voltages or impedances. If you have 277 volts and 7 ohms, the current would be 39.5 amps and a 15 amp circuit breaker should trip.


How much current will flow in a circuit with a 12 VDC source connected to a 1K load?

In a 12VDC circuit with a 1K load, there will be 12ma of current. (Ohm's law: Volts = Amps * Ohms, so Amps = Volts / Ohms.)


How many ohms is a 120 volts?

"Volts" is electrical pressure applied to a circuit; whereas, "ohms" is electrical resistance to that pressure. One cannot determine ohms from voltage without knowing either the current (in "amps") or power (in "watts"). A normal 120V household circuit can handle a maximum of 20 amps, so using ohm's law of resistance = voltage / current, the minimum resistance required in a 120V household circuit would be 6 ohms. Any less than 6 ohms will cause the circuit breaker to trip.


What is the resistance of the circuit if the voltage is 230 volts and the current flowing is 5 amps?

The resistance of the circuit will be 46 ohms


What are watts amps and ohms?

ohms is a measure of resistance(R) in a circuit. Watts is a measure of the power(P), in this case lets assume it is the power used by the resistive element (lamp, heater etc). Power(watts)=Current(Amps)x Current(amps) x Resistance(ohms) or Resistance (ohms)=Power(W)/(current x current)


If the resistance of an electric circuit is 12 ohms and the voltage in the circuit is 60v the current flowingthrough the circuit is?

Ohms law states E=I*R. Isolating I we get, I = E/R.I = 60V/12ohms = 5 amps.


How many amps will a 260 ohms resistor on a 120 volt circuit use?

Just use Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance Amps = Voltage Divided By Resistance Amps = 120 / 260


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


What is the power of a parallel circuit with a resistance of 1000 ohms and a current of 0.03 amps?

.9 watts.


What is the resistance of a circuit that takes a current of 0.5A when the voltage to the circuit is 40v?

The formula you are looking for is Ohms = Volts/Amps. R = E/I.
