RF power from voltage & impedance

P=V2RP=V2R
(V) Voltage(V) Voltage
(R)Impedance(R)Impedance

The RF Power from voltage and impedance calculator compute the RF Power from the voltage and impedance.

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose units and enter the following:

  • (V) Voltage
  • (R) Impedance

RF Power(P):  The calculator returns the power in Watts.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for RF Power from voltage and impedance is:

           P = V2/R

where:

  • P = RF Power
  • V = voltage
  • R = impedance

Ohm's Law

The Ohm's Law calculator suite computes power (watts), potential (voltage), current (amps) and resistance (ohms) in relation to each other based on Ohm's Law.  There is a fundamental relationship between electrical parameters: potential, current, resistance and power depicted in the graphical wheel (see wheel).  

The Ohm's Law Calculator suite has automatic unit conversions for the input and output of the equations.  The equations are as follows.  Click on the formula for a pop-up calculator with the formula, or click on the description link for the page dedicated to that formula.

Power (watts, milliwatts, kilowatts)

Potential (volts, millivolts)

Resistance (ohms, milliohms, kiloohms)

Current (amps, milliamps, microamps, gilberts)
