how do you convert 12 volts into ohms?

Answer 1

You don't. Ohms are a measure of resistance. Volts are a measure of electricity.

Answer 2

Convert Ohms To Volts

Answer 3

You can't. They are measurements of different things.

A volt is a measure of electrical potential difference.

An ohm is a measure of resistance to electrical current flow.

Try converting 12 miles into gallons. See what happens.


They are related this way though:

Voltage=Current*Resistance or V=I*R This equation is known as Ohm's Law.

Answer 5

You can't they are different. Volts are a measure of electromotive force or potential difference and ohms are a measurement of electrical resistance.It's like asking to convert £12 into miles.

Answer 6

This is a good example of how thumbs up and thumbs down rating system doesn't work. Two of more complete answer given to this question have recieved thumbs down. Plus, the question itself recieved a thumbs down... this is a very common beginning engineering question.

Volts and Ohms are units for different measurement. Volts refers to potential, ohms refers to resistance. Yes, there is a relationship between them as described in ohms law.

R=E/I where R is ressitance in ohms, E is voltage in volts, I is current in amperes.

When voltage is applied to a resister, current will flow and the relationships of these 3 different measurements are expressed as above.

Unless you know the measurement of the current, and it is flowing, you cannot arrive at the resistance where such condition is possible.

With the information given, the best you can do is to arrive at a statement such as:

For a circuit of voltage E at12 volt, resister of given R, the current will be 12/R

Answer 7

YOU CAN'T CHANGE THIS AS IT IS NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OTHERWISE IT CAN BE CONVERTED TO 12 OHMS IF CURRENT IS UNITY THEN A VOLTAGE DROP OF 12 VOLTS CORRESPONDS TO A RESISTANCE OF 12 OHMS BETWEEN THOSE TWO TERMINALS

Answer 8

You need the current in the circuit to work this out - I believe

Ah, yes, then u can use good old Ohms Law, If I remember its V = IR

From my physics days it's Volts = Current multiplied by Resistance.
From this u can work out the other combinations.

Hope this helps

Answer 9

Volts and ohms measure different things in elecrical engineering.

Answer 10

You can't - not without knowing one other value such as AMPS, (or even the wattage).

V=IR (Ohm's law)

Volts = Amps (I) x Resistence (Ohms)
