|---|---|
| Ohm's Law | V=IR |
| Power Equation 1 | P=IV |
| Power Equation 2 | P=IxIxR |
| Parallel Resistors (2of) | R1xR2/R1+R2 |
| How do I work out power in a transformer? | P=IV |
| How do I work out A2 in a transformer? | work out the power on side one, then the volts per turn. times V/turn by the number of turns on side 2, then divide the power by the new voltage. |
