Resistance doesn't "use" either. Resistance is the division of voltage by current. It can be though of as a measure of how hard it is to push electrons through a substance.

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


How to figure amps in an electrical circuit?

To figure out the amps in an electrical circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that Amps Volts / Resistance. Measure the voltage across the circuit and the resistance of the components in the circuit, then divide the voltage by the resistance to calculate the amperage.

What voltage is required to move 2 amps through 5 resistance?

To find the voltage required to move 2 amps through a resistance of 5 ohms, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). Therefore, V = I × R = 2 amps × 5 ohms = 10 volts. So, a voltage of 10 volts is required.


How and what is a multimeter use for?

a VOM is typically used to measure resistance, potential (voltage) and current (amps).


What is 95kV in amps?

You can't convert kV (kilovolts) to current (amps) unless you know the resistance (ohms) of the load which is taking current from that voltage source. Once you know the resistance then you can use Ohm's Law to get the amperage: I = V / R In words, Ohm's law is: Current (amps) equals voltage divided by resistance (ohms)


How do you measur ampere?

You use an "amp gauge" to measure amps in an actual circuit. It is hooked in series with the load. It can be placed anywhere in the circuit as long as it is hooked in series. Mathematically, you have to know the resistance, or wattage and voltage of a circuit. Volts=amps*resistance or amps=volts/resistance, or resistance=volts/amps. Ohms law!


How much resistance should be on a 5.0 kw heat strip?

Depends on the voltage. Wattage is Volts x Amps. Resistance (ohms) is Volts divided by Amps. So on a 120V circuit, it would draw 41.66 amps. To do that, it would need a resistance of 2.88 ohms. But on a 240V circuit, it would draw 20.83 amps. That would require a resistance of 11.52 ohms. Determine the circuit voltage, then use that to figure the amps, then use that result to calculate the resistance necessary.


How is electrical resistance calculated?

Resistance (Ohms) = Potential Difference (Voltage) / Current (Amps)


How many volts is 7.5 amps?

Volts and amps are related according to Ohm's law where volts are equal to amps multiplied by resistance. Amps alone won't tell you how much voltage you have. 2.5 amps could have 1 volt or 200 volts it will depend on how much resistance the 2.5 amps sees.AnswerThere are no volts in amperes. They measure different quantities. Your question is like asking, "How many kilometres are there in 2.5 kilograms?" In other words, it is nonesense!


How do you calculate amps in an electrical circuit?

To calculate amps in an electrical circuit, you use Ohm's Law, which states that Amps (I) Volts (V) / Resistance (R). This formula helps you determine the current flowing through the circuit based on the voltage and resistance present.
