12 VI = 2 AR = 6 ΩP = 24 Watts
Voltage (V)
12 V
Current (I)
2 A
Resistance (R)
6 Ω
Power (P)
24 W
Step-by-Step Derivation
Given: Voltage V = 12 V, Current I = 2 A
1. Resistance: R = V / I = 12 / 2 = 6.0000 Ω
2. Power: P = V × I = 12 × 2 = 24.0000 W

What is Voltage?

Voltage is electric potential difference, measuring the work required per unit charge to move a test charge between two points.

Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation

V = I × R

Current in Amperes times Resistance in Ohms.
