UK plugs are fused to a maximum of 13 A; at 240 V this corresponds to 3 120 W ā typical for a kettle or small heater.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from the Ohm's Law calculator?
- The Ohm's Law calculator solves V=IR for three variables. This tool adds the power equations (P=VI, P=IĀ²R, P=VĀ²/R) and lets you start from any two of the four quantities P, V, I, R.
- What are real-world examples?
- A 60 W light bulb on 120 V draws I = P/V = 0.5 A, with R = V/I = 240 Ī©.
