Voltage Drop Simulation

Visualizing Ohm's Law: Testing a Live System with a Bypass VOM

Volts / PSI
Ohms / Friction

Simulates a bad connection (Max 2.0 Ω).

Live Circuit Stats

System Flow (Amps):
4.00 A
MAX 10A REACHED
Voltage Drop (Measured): 4.00 V
Load Power: 32.0 W
AT SOURCE (V) 12.0 SOURCE RESISTOR (CHOKE) ⚡ BYPASS VOM (VOLTAGE DROP) 4.00 V AT MOTOR (V) 8.0 MOTOR LOAD
Meter Red Lead (High Side)
Meter Green Lead (Low Side)

Flow limit: 10 Amps (System safety protection enabled).

LIVE OHM'S LAW AUTO-CALC

VOLTAGE DROP EQUATION:

Vdrop = 4.00 × 1.0

= 4.00 Volts Lost

I = V/R 4.00 A
Rtotal 3.0 Ω
