Use Ohm's law: V = IR (V=voltage, I=current, R=resistance). Example: 3mA flows thru a 1kOhm resistor. V = (0.003 * 1000) = 3V.

How do you calculate power loss from a resistor?
The power dissipated across a resistor, or any device for that matter, is watts, or voltage times current. If you don't know one of voltage or current, you can calculate it from Ohm's law: voltage equals resistance times current. So; if you know voltage and current, power is voltage times current; if you know voltage and resistance, watts is voltage squared divided by resistance; and if you know current and resistance, watts is current squared times resistance.
How can calculate resistance for negative dc voltage?
Resistance calculations are the same no matter what the polarity of applied voltage. R=E/I Resistance (in ohms) = Voltage (in volts) divided by Current (in amperes)
How is total resistance in a series circuit determined?
Series circuit: The total voltage is the sum of the voltage on each component. The total resistance is equal to the sum of the resistance on each component. The total current is equal in every component.
Calculate the voltage of a battery if the resistance is 80 ohms and the current is 0.5 amp?
Ohm's law: Voltage is resistance times current. 80 ohms time 0.5 amperes = 40 volts.
How do you find resistance when you have current and resistance total?
If you are looking for the resistance of each resistor in either a series circuit or a parallel circuit you must measure the current I and the voltage V for each resistor. Then calculate its resistance using Ohms Law R = V / I where I = current (Amps), V = voltage (Volts) and R= resistance (Ohms).

How are currents calculated?
Ohm's Law says I = V/R. You need to know the voltage across the component and its resistance, for that particular temperature and time, in order to calculate the current in the component at that instance.
What does the size of a current depend upon?
One way to determine current is to measure it, with an ammeter. Another way is to calculate it using Ohm's law: current = voltage / resistance.
Can you calculate power by multiplying voltage and current?
Not enough information. Power = current x voltage. Since voltage can be anything, there is no way to calculate power. Time is irrelevant; though once you have the power, it can help you calculate energy (energy = power x time).
How do you verify omh's law using multi tester?
if your looking for current (I) = voltage ./. resistance voltage (v) = current x resistance resistance (r) = voltage ./. current plug in your values calculate them then use meter to see if they match!
What is a relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
What is the relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
How do we calculate voltage?
V = I x R V = voltage, I = Current, R = Resistance or it can be calculate like this V = P / I V = Voltage, P = Electric Power, I = Current
What is the dimensional formula for current?
One way to calculate current is using ohms law; current equals voltage divided by resistance or: I=V/R Where I is current, V is voltage and R is resistance.
What is the relationship among voltage circuit and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
How to find resistance?
-- Apply a small, known voltage between the terminals of the device. -- Measure the current through the device with the voltage applied. -- Calculate the resistance of the device. It's (voltage) divided by (current).
How can calculate resistance for negative dc voltage?
Resistance calculations are the same no matter what the polarity of applied voltage. R=E/I Resistance (in ohms) = Voltage (in volts) divided by Current (in amperes)
