Irons at their simplest are just a resistor (Ω) connected to your power source via a switch.

- When the switch is on, the power in the resistor is: $P(watts) = V(volts) \times\ I(current=amps)$
- Current through the resistor is: $I(amps) = V(volts) ÷ Ω (resistance)$
- When the switch is on, the power in the resistor is: *`P(watts) = V(volts) \times\ I(current=amps)`*
- Current through the resistor is: *`I(amps) = V(volts) ÷ Ω (resistance)`*
- Combining these gives some common equations for Power

$P(watts) = V(volts) * I(amps)$ or $P = V^2 ÷ Ω$
*`P(watts) = V(volts) * I(amps)`* or *`P = V^2 ÷ Ω`*

The resistance of the tip is a fixed constant in ohms (Ω):

- 6.2 Ω Pine64 short tip
- 8.0 Ω TS100/Pinecil long tip
- 4.5 Ω TS80(P)
