The conversion from 10 watts to volts depends on either resistance (R) in ohms or current (I) in amperes. Using the power formula P = V²/R or P = V×I, we can derive the voltage when power is fixed at 10 watts.
The calculator uses one of two formulas based on your input:
Where:
Explanation: The first formula calculates voltage from resistance using the power formula P = V²/R. The second calculates voltage from current using P = V×I.
Details: Calculating voltage from known power and either resistance or current is essential in electrical engineering, circuit design, and troubleshooting electrical systems.
Tips: Select whether you want to calculate using resistance or current, then enter the appropriate value. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Why are there two different formulas?
A: The formula depends on what information you have available - either resistance or current, but not both.
Q2: Can I calculate both resistance and current at the same time?
A: No, you need to know one of these values to calculate voltage when power is fixed at 10 watts.
Q3: What if I know both resistance and current?
A: If you know both, you can use either formula as they should give the same result when P = 10W.
Q4: Are there limitations to these calculations?
A: These calculations assume DC circuits or AC circuits with purely resistive loads. For reactive loads, power factor must be considered.
Q5: Can this calculator be used for power values other than 10 watts?
A: No, this calculator is specifically designed for 10 watts. For other power values, the formulas would need to be adjusted.
