dB is always a power ratio. So when you convert linear power ratios to dB you just use 10. But since power is proportional to square of amplitude (ampltidues including SPL, voltage, and current) when you use voltage or current ratios to calculate dB, you use 20.

What is the gain of 20 in dB?
dB and Voltage gain (20dB = 10x)
When talking about voltage, 6dB represents a ratio of two to one or a doubling of voltage. 20dB would represent a ratio of ten to one for voltage - so 20 dB would be 10 times the voltage. A 40dB voltage gain would be 100 times the voltage.
Why is dB defined as 20log 10?
Why is a decibel always in the form of '20log()'? When intensity of sound measured as a Sound Pressure Level is expressed in decibels then the correct formula is 20 Log(P/P ref). [Log to base 10]. This is because Intensity (the actual description of how much sound we have) is proportional to the Square of the Pressure.
How much is 20 dB attenuation?
When you compare cable performance and a manufacturer states that the attenuation (power loss) for a cable operating at 100MHz, with a length of 90 meters is 20dB, it means that the signal strength has dropped by a factor of 100. If you apply an input power of 10 watts, the output will be only be 0.10 watts!
How do you calculate dB ratio?
How is it calculated? It is calculated by dividing your regular debt obligation by your regular income. Since your DBR comes as 70% as against the standard i.e. 50% you are not eligible to apply for the loan. Since your DBR comes as 35% as against the standard i.e. 50% you are eligible to apply for the loan.
