How do you calculate voltage drop current and resistance?
Ohm’s Law states that V=I*R, where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance. In a series circuit, the voltage drop across each resistor will be directly proportional to the size of the resistor. In a parallel circuit, the voltage drop across each resistor will be the same as the power source.
How many ohms of resistance are in a 120 volt?
For example, a 100 watt light bulb operating on 120 volts AC will have 144 ohms of resistance and will draw 0.833 Amps.
How much current does a 75 W lightbulb draw from the 120 V power line?
current= watts divided by voltage= 75/120= 0.625 amperes.
What is the resistance of a 60 W 120 V lightbulb?
240 Ω
The 120-Watt bulb has the lower resistance; and using Ohm’s law, one would expect it also has the higher current. In fact, the 120-Watt bulb would have a current of 1 Amp and a resistance of 120 Ω; the 60-Watt bulb would have a current of 0.5 Amp and a resistance of 240 Ω.
How do I calculate voltage drop?
To calculate voltage drop:
- Multiply current in amperes by the length of the circuit in feet to get ampere-feet. Circuit length is the distance from the point of origin to the load end of the circuit.
- Divide by 100.
- Multiply by proper voltage drop value in tables. Result is voltage drop.
How many volts is a 75 watt bulb?

What is the current through a 75 watt light bulb that is connected to a 125 volt outlet?
3. What is the current through a 75-W light- bulb that is connected to a 125-V outlet! 1 = SD = 75W 125 V = 0.60 A 15.
How to calculate voltage drop over resistance step-wise?
How to calculate voltage drop over resistance step-wise : Step1: Simplify the given circuit. If say circuit is full of resistors in series and parallel, then reconnect it to just simplify. (check the practical example below) Step2: Then, find an equivalent resistor. For parallel: 1 / Req. = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 …. For series: Req. = R1 + R2 + . . .
What is the voltage drop across each resistor in a circuit?
In a series circuit, the voltage drop across each resistor will be directly proportional to the size of the resistor. In a parallel circuit, the voltage drop across each resistor will be the same as the power source.
How do you calculate voltage drop in a single loop circuit?
Divide the DC source voltage by the total resistance to get the total current in the circuit. Since the circuit is a single loop, the current is the same through all resistors. To find the voltage drop for any one of the resistors, use Ohm’s Law again, V=I*R, using the resistance of the resistor you want.
Why can’t you use a universal resistor voltage drop calculator?
You cannot use a universal resistor voltage drop calculator because series and parallel circuits have countless possible configurations. Sciencing_Icons_Science SCIENCE Sciencing_Icons_Biology
