Front Back
I.
Represents
Electrical flow or Current
I.
is measured in
Amps ( or amperes)
E.
Represents
Electrical Pressure
E.
is measured in
Volts (voltage)
R.
Represents
Opposition of current flow. Resistance
R.
is measured in
Ohms
3 basic formulas of Ohms Law
I=E/R , E=I*R , R=E/I
RTotal =
Total Current
R1 + R2 + R3 + R4
All resistance is Added together to find R Total (R Add)
ITotal=
Total Amps
I1 = I2 = I3 = I4 ...etc
I Total are all the Same around a circuit. (I Same)
ETotal=
Total Volts
E1 + E2 + E3 + E4 ...etc
All voltage(E) is Added together to find total volts used. (E Add)

P.
Represents
Power
P.
is measured in
Watts
P=
(formula)
I (Amps) * E (Volts)
