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.


How do you measure volts amps and ohms?

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.
