The Power Loss Due to Wire Resistance computes the power loss due to the resistance (R) of a wire.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your preferred units and enter the following:
- (R) This is the resistance in the wire.
- (lrms) This is the DC current
Power: The calculator returns the power loss in watts. However, this can be automatically converted to other power units via the pull-down menu.
