Ohm Law in Computer Circuits

Calculate voltage and electrical power in basic circuits.

V = I × R; P = V × I

Formula Explanation

Ohm law relates voltage, current and resistance; electrical power equals voltage multiplied by current.

Variables Explained

V = Voltage; I = Current; R = Resistance; P = Power.

Solved Example

A circuit has 5 V and draws 2 A. Find power.
P = 5 × 2 = 10 W.

Exam Tip

Use consistent SI units and distinguish power (W) from energy (J).
