Formulas & Step-by-Step

Resistance

R = V ÷ I

100 ÷ 67.42 = 1.48 Ω

Power

P = V × I

100 × 67.42 = 6,742 W

Verification (alternative formulas)

P = I² × R

67.42² × 1.48 = 4,545.46 × 1.48 = 6,742 W ✓

P = V² ÷ R

100² ÷ 1.48 = 10,000 ÷ 1.48 = 6,742 W ✓

Circuit Analysis

Heat Dissipation

This circuit dissipates 6,742 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the resistance for 100V and 67.42A?expand_more

R = V ÷ I = 100 ÷ 67.42 = 1.48 ohms.

What happens if I halve the resistance?expand_more

At the same 100V, current doubles to 134.84A and power quadruples to 13,484W. Lower resistance means more current, which means more power dissipated as heat.

How are voltage, current, resistance, and power related?expand_more

Ohm's Law (V = IR) and the power equation (P = VI) connect all four. Given any two, you can calculate the other two.

What determines wire size for 67.42A?expand_more

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.
