Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.

Terminal RMS voltage (V)

Required number input.

Terminal RMS current (A)

Required number input.

Calculate headphone impedance magnitude at a test frequency from RMS terminal voltage and RMS current; phase is not determined. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Impedance magnitude (Ω)

The resulting impedance magnitude returned as a number.

• Audio calculations must distinguish peak, RMS, dBu, dBV, acoustic SPL, electrical power, nominal impedance, sensitivity, and weighting. Loudspeaker impedance varies with frequency, room response changes SPL, and clipping or thermal limits are not represented by a single nominal value.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.

• Earphone Impedance

  Magnitude of earphone electrical impedance from RMS voltage and RMS current at the same sinusoidal test frequency.

• Motor Power Factor At Load

  Calculate balanced three-phase motor power factor as real input power divided by √3 times line voltage and line current; the result is a magnitude.

• Ac Motor Reactive Power

  Calculate positive reactive-power magnitude for a balanced three-phase motor from line voltage, line current, and power factor.
