Joule's Law Calculator

The Joule's Law Calculator will calculate the:

  1. Output (useful) energy (heat energy for resistors) delivered by a circuit component
  2. Input (total) energy produced by the electric source of the circuit (battery)

Calculator Settings:

  1. Medium is considered as uniform.
  2. The wire is considered at the same thickness everywhere.
  3. Enter 0 [zero] when an input is not known, the Joule's Law Calculator will automatically select the appropriate Joule's Law formula to complete the calculations.
