    Ohm’s Law Guide


    To be used as a guide only

    Ohms

    Ohms = Volts ÷ Amperes

    Where:

    Ohms = R

    Volts = E

    Amperes = I

    Formula:

    R=E÷I

    Example:

    E = 22.75, I = 3.5

    Therefore

    R = 22.75 ÷ 3.5 = 6.5 Ohms


    Volts

    Volts = Amperes x Ohms

    Where:

    Volts = E

    Amperes = I

    Ohms = R

    1
    Formula:

    E=IxR

    Example:

    I = 3.5, R = 6.5

    Therefore:

    E = 3.5 x 6.5

    E = 22.75

    Amperes
    Amperes = Volts ÷ Ohms
    Where:
    Amperes = I
    Volts = E
    Ohms = R

    Formula:

    I=E÷R

    Example:

    E = 22.75, R = 6.5

    Therefore:

    I = 22.75 ÷ 6.5

    I = 3.5 Amperes

    2
    Watts

    Watts = (amperes)2 x Ohms

    Where:

    Watts = W

    Amperes = I

    Ohms = R

    Formula:

    W = I2 x R

    Example:

    I = 3.5, R = 6.5

    Therefore:

    W = (3.5)2 x 6.5

    W = 12.25 x 6.5

    W = 79.625 Watts

    Useful Coil Formulas

    Length of one turn of wire = Pi x (Outside coil diameter – Wire diameter)

    Number of turns of wire per inch of coil = 1/ (Wire diameter)

    Length of wire in 1” of closed coil = [Pi x (Outside coil diameter – Wire diameter)]/
    (Wire diameter)

    Resistance per inch of closed coil = [Pi x (OD – Wire diameter) (Resistance /Ft. of
    Wire)]/ 12 (Wire diameter)

    Length of coil = [Total resistance of coil] / [Resistance per inch of closed coil]

    Combining the formulas given above, we get the complete formula for coil
    calculations.

    3
    Length of Coil =

    [Coil Resistance x Wire diameter] / [.262 x (Coil OD – Wire diameter) *


    (Resistance/Ft. of Wire used)]

    Wire Resistance =

    [(OHMS – Circular Mils) / Feet] / [Diameter in Mils Squared]

    Strip and Ribbon Resistance Factor=

    [OHMS/Sq.Mil Ft.] / Thickness (mils) x Width (mils) x Correction]

    If calculations are done for ribbon wire, a correction factor of .94 or .83 must be used
    depending on the ratio of width to thickness. The higher the width to thickness ratio
    the lower the correction factor is.

    Wire Weight=

    [Pi x r^2 x Length x Lbs.] / Cubic Inch

    Strip Weight =

    [Thickness x Width x Length x Lbs.] / Cubic Inch

    OHMS/Sq Mil Ft. =

    OHMS/Cir.Mil Ft. x .7854

    Q: How do I calculate the amperage for a given round magnet wire?

    A: The formula for current carrying capacity in amperes for copper magnet wire wound into a coil is: d 2 x
    4869.48 (d = diameter in inches). This formula is pretty conservative, and formulas from other sources based
    on straight lengths of solid or stranded conductors in ambient air may indicate greater current carrying
    capacity than this one.

    The American Heritage Dictionary defines ‘Ohms’ as; A unit of electrical resistance equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one
    ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals. Also ‘Volts’ is defined as; The international system of electrical
    potential and electromotive force, equal to the difference of electrical potential between two points on a conducting wire carrying a
    constant current.
