Resistance The electrical resistance of a conductor is defined by:  - where I is the current flowing through the conductor and V is the potential difference across the conductor.
- The power disipated by a resistor is given by Joule′s law:
 - where
- W = power disipated [Watt]
- I = current [Ampere]
- R = resistance [Ohm]
- V = potential difference across resistor [Volt]
| Enter two values and the other values will be calculated. -

| | Resistors in Series  - The total resistance R of a series of resistors in series is:

| | Resistors in Parallel  - The total resistance R of a series of resistors in parallel is:
