Watts to Volts Formula:
From: | To: |
The Watts to Volts conversion calculates voltage from power (in watts) and current (in amps) using Ohm's Law. This is fundamental in electrical engineering and circuit design.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula is derived from the basic power equation P = IV (Power = Current × Voltage).
Details: Knowing voltage is essential for designing electrical circuits, selecting appropriate components, and ensuring safe operation of electrical devices.
Tips: Enter power in watts and current in amps. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the voltage in volts.
Q1: Can I use this for AC circuits?
A: This formula works for DC circuits. For AC circuits, you need to consider power factor (PF) as well: V = W / (I × PF).
Q2: What if I know voltage and want to find watts?
A: Use the formula W = V × I (Watts = Volts × Amps).
Q3: What are typical voltage values?
A: Common voltages include 1.5V (batteries), 12V (cars), 120V (US household), 230V (European household).
Q4: Why is my calculated voltage higher than expected?
A: This could indicate incorrect power or current measurements, or the presence of reactive power in AC circuits.
Q5: How precise should my measurements be?
A: For most applications, 2-3 decimal places are sufficient. High-precision circuits may require more accurate measurements.
