What Is the Resistance and Power for 100V and 0.67A?

Using Ohm's Law: 100V at 0.67A means 149.25 ohms of resistance and 67 watts of power. This is useful for sizing resistors, understanding circuit behavior, and verifying that components can handle the power dissipation (67W in this case).

Formulas & Step-by-Step

Resistance

R = V ÷ I

100 ÷ 0.67 = 149.25 Ω

Power

P = V × I

100 × 0.67 = 67 W

Verification (alternative formulas)

P = I² × R

0.67² × 149.25 = 0.4489 × 149.25 = 67 W

P = V² ÷ R

100² ÷ 149.25 = 10,000 ÷ 149.25 = 67 W

Circuit Analysis

Heat Dissipation

This circuit dissipates 67 watts of power as heat. In a resistor, all electrical energy at steady state converts to thermal energy. The actual component power rating needs headroom above this steady-state figure, but the specific derating depends on resistor type (carbon-comp, metal-film, wirewound each behave differently), ambient temperature, airflow or heat-sinking, and whether the load is continuous or pulsed. Check the resistor datasheet for the manufacturer-specific derating curve rather than applying a blanket margin.

P = V × I = 100 × 0.67 = 67 watts.
Wire sizing for a given current is not an Ohm's Law calculation. It depends on run length, source voltage, voltage-drop target, conductor material, insulation and termination temperature rating, cable type, and ambient and bundling conditions. The dedicated wire-size calculator takes those variables as input.
All 67W is dissipated as heat in a pure resistor at steady state. The component power rating needs headroom above this steady-state figure, but the specific derating depends on resistor type (carbon-comp, metal-film, wirewound each behave differently), ambient temperature, airflow or heat-sinking, and whether the load is continuous or pulsed. Check the resistor datasheet for the manufacturer-specific derating curve.
