Voltage Dropped and Power Dissipated
across a Series Resistor

Any resistor in a circuit that has a voltage drop across it dissipates elecrical power. This electrical power is converted into heat energy, hence all resistors have a power rating. This is the maximum power that can be dissipated from the resistor without it burning out. The rate of conversion is the power of dissipation.

Power dissipation is a measure of how much power (P = I x E) in a circuit is converted into heat.

Conversion Calculators
Formulas, equations, and calculation tools for most compliance engineering applications.

Ohm’s Law
Ohm's Law is valid for circuits that contain only resistive elements (no capacitors or inductors). Ohm's Law is true for voltage and current (DC) or (AC).

Effective Impedance
Effective Impedance is the DC resistance plus the additional apparent impedance caused by inductance and capacitance at a specified frequency.

Voltage to dB Converter
This function converts the linear relationship between two voltages or powers into decibels, and decibels in power or voltage gain or attenuation.

Voltage Dropped & Power Dissipated Across a Series Resistor
Power dissipation is a measure of how much power is converted into heat in a circuit due to inefficiencies.

Compliance Voltage
Compliance voltage represents the maximum voltage a current source will reach as it attempts to produce the desired current at the desired rate of change.

Decibel Conversion
Converts between decibels, voltage (or current) gain, and power gain.

Watts to Joules Conversion
Convert watts to joules by entering the power in watts and time in seconds using this easy calculator.
