In order to calculate Volts, we need to determine first the amount of current measured in amps, represented as I, and the Resistance , measured in Ohms, represented as R.
Voltage is equal to the current against resistance, therefore it can be presented as
V = I/R
For Example: A current of 35 amps flows against a wire containing 2.5 ohms, determine the voltage.
V = 35 amps / 2.5 ohms
V= 14 V
In some cases if we are asked to find the resistance or current, we can equate the given equation based on the values that we have.
I= RV
R= I/V
