Voltage from Load Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Voltage from Load.
V = EL / I
Variables:
- Where V is the Voltage from Load (volts)
- EL is the electrical load (watts)
- I is the total current (amps)
To calculate voltage from load, divide the total load by the total current.
| Electrical Load (W) | Total Current (A) | Voltage (V) |

| 3.3 | 1 | 3.3 |
| 5 | 1 | 5 |
| 10 | 2 | 5 |
| 9 | 1 | 9 |
| 12 | 1 | 12 |
| 24 | 2 | 12 |

How to Calculate Voltage from Load?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Voltage from Load.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the electrical load (watts). In this example, the electrical load (watts) is measured to be 7.
- Next, determine the total current (amps). For this problem, the total current (amps) is calculated to be 6.
- Finally, calculate the Voltage from Load using the formula above:
V = EL / I
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
V = 7 / 6 = 1.1666 (volts)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as example problem 1, we first define the variables outlined by the formula. In this case, the values are:
electrical load (watts) = 4
total current (amps) = 10
Entering these values into the formula or calculator above gives us::
V = 4 / 10 = .40 (volts)
