Potential Voltage Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Potential Voltage.
Vp = IC * RC
- Where Vp is the Potential Voltage (volts)
- IC is the circuit current (a)
- RC is the circuit resistance (ohms)
How to Calculate Potential Voltage?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Potential Voltage.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the circuit current (a). In this example, the circuit current (a) is measured to be 50.
- Next, determine the circuit resistance (ohms). For this problem, the circuit resistance (ohms) is calculated to be 20.
- Finally, calculate the Potential Voltage using the formula above:
Vp = IC * RC
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Vp = 50 * 20 = 100 (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:
circuit current (a) = 90
circuit resistance (ohms) = 3
Entering these values into the formula above gives :
Vp = 90 * 3 = 270 (volts)
